The Royal Commission into child sexual abuse - a great step for victims

As a psychologist I see many victims of childhood and adult sexual abuse. Incredibly most people are well adjusted but invariably tend to have relationship difficulties.

The Government decision to have a Royal Commission is to be congratulated!
Institutions, need to be accountable and especially those not currently so - read religious orders, we should all be open to scrutiny and transparency.

People need to have faith in the integrity of the people in positions of power and there are checks and processes to protect them.

I work under the Australian Psychological Society's Code of Ethics and am a mandatory reporter, who in employment has been subject to what is known as a working with children criminal check.

I believe abuse continues in darkness and behind closed doors, we do need to speak out about the effects of this on people.

I specialise in working with people to heal in this form of trauma, that often leads to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety and Depression using specific trauma techniques that are fast, effective and efficient in the recovery process. I really feel privileged in the work I do and the courage it takes for people who have survived this experience.
