The pain and suffering resulting from childhood abuse is profound and enduring, permeating every aspect of a survivor's life. Emotional anguish, loss of innocence, and fractured trust become saddening sides of their existence.

This suffering can manifest in various forms, from chronic emotional distress to physical symptoms and a sense of vulnerability. Survivors often grapple with a profound inner turmoil, brought by flashbacks, intrusive thoughts and traumatic memories.

Navigating relationships, establishing a stable sense of self, and embracing a positive outlook on life can become formidable challenges in the wake of childhood abuse. This is one of the reasons of our existence and what motivates us to support survivors on their journey.

Therapeutic strategies play a crucial role in helping survivors overcome the pervasive pain associated with childhood abuse. Trauma-informed therapy, and a humanistic approach, provide a supportive framework for survivors to process their experiences, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Additionally, expressive therapies like art therapy offer alternative avenues for survivors to communicate and process their pain when verbal expression may be challenging.

A supportive therapeutic relationship provides a safe space for survivors to explore and understand their emotions, fostering resilience and empowerment. Through these strategies, survivors can gradually reclaim agency over their lives and embark on a journey towards healing and recovery.

At One In Four, we provide support to survivors. As a charity we are reliant on donations. Please visit our website to find out more [link in bio]

🌈 Join us in celebrating Pride Month this June 2026! 🌈

💡 Among the Pride celebrations, we want to shine a light on inclusive support services and removing barriers to access for LGBTQ+ survivors of sexual violence and abuse.

LGBTQ+ people are too often excluded from discussions around sexual violence. Yet over half of LGBTQ+ survivors surveyed by Galop () in 2022 believe their LGBTQ+ identity was linked to, or the reason for, at least one instance of sexual violence they were subjected to.

At One in Four, we support survivors of child sexual abuse and violence regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.

You are not alone. Support is available.

One in Four provides long term counselling to support you on your journey.

At One in Four we know that steady, ongoing therapy can make a real difference, especially when the issues are complex and rooted in childhood harm. Our two-year therapy offer is not about quick fixes. It’s about time: time to build trust, to notice patterns, and to practise new ways of being in safe, supported steps.

Across months and years, people often find that small shifts add up. Having the same therapeutic relationship over time means we can explore difficult memories at a pace that feels manageable, pay attention to how emotions show up in the body, and try out practical strategies that help day-to-day life. It also gives space to untangle identity, culture and relationship patterns without pressure.

We work with curiosity and respect, adapting sessions to each person’s way of being. Our therapists receive specialist training and regular supervision so they can hold that continuity safely and ethically. Many clients say the steadiness of longer-term work helps them feel less alone with their past and more able to make choices in the present.

If you’d like to read more about how our approach works in practice, please visit our website for details about the programme and how it’s organised.
