Kayla's work includes:
Kayla takes a compassionate and supportive approach to her work, understanding that clients involved in abuse claims are often revisiting difficult experiences.

Kayla believes clear communication and sensitivity are key to helping clients feel reassured and informed from start to finish.
Girls are being groomed and exploited by drug gangs across Britain, often through manipulation, control and promises of affection or belonging. While attention has focused heavily on grooming gangs, the experiences of girls caught up in criminal exploitation can be overlooked. Their stories raise important questions about how these victims are recognised, protected and supported.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists has issued a public apology to adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, acknowledging that many have not received the understanding and support they needed when speaking about their experiences.
A man convicted of child trafficking offences connected to the sexual exploitation of young girls in South Yorkshire has appeared before Sheffield Crown Court after being arrested in Switzerland.
The arrest of an 83-year-old man in connection with historical child sexual abuse allegations at Tong Park Remand Home marks another significant development in the ongoing investigation of abuse claims relating to former residential institutions.
