Couple counselling

Sexual abuse issues can affect partnerships in many ways. Feelings of shame and guilt may make it difficult for a man to disclose to his partner about what has happened to him. Suppression of these feelings can create complex issues such as low self-esteem, sexual dysfunction, intimacy issues and poor parenting. Disclosure of sexual violence can have a huge impact on relationships leaving both partners feeling lost, unsettled and unsure how to proceed.

Couple counselling is an opportunity for the two of you to talk and listen in a structured setting. The counsellor will help both of you to sort out what you are feeling and ensure that you both get equal space to express how you feel and be understood. This will help you both gain better insight into what is happening in your relationship and gain a different perspective.
