Starting at 10 am (please arrive for 9:30 am for a prompt start), this day will look at the emotional and physical consequences of sexual abuse, and examine the specific psychological trauma experienced by its victims and the phenomena of re-victimisation. It will include information on dealing with disclosures and a model for working with Survivors.

This day will be led by Helen Proudley, an experienced Counsellor, who has worked for 18 years in Psychology Departments in the NHS in Darlington and Stockton. Although she was trained as a Couple Counsellor and generic Counsellor, she has specialised in working with Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse, both as individuals and in groups and undertaken additional training with Relate on Psychosexual Dysfunctions and their management.



Helen works in an informal way, and encourages participants to talk about their own experiences and difficulties with working in this area, though, of course, the confidentiality of clients will be maintained.
