Shona Innes Psychology works with young people who are affected by problematic use of pornography and/or child exploitation material. Clients range from school-aged boys and girls involved in ‘sexting’ to young people who have a fascination with sexually explicit materials, those who create and share material, and those with internet and pornography addiction. Shona Innes Psychology works through the social, moral, ethical and legal boundaries that are breached when young people become involved in pornography.

While many young clients are referred to Shona Innes Psychology by family members, partners and their doctor, Shona Innes Psychology also supports those who have been criminally convicted of activities that include possession, production and distribution of child exploitation material, animated child exploitation, involvement in chatrooms, sharing websites/distributing child exploitation material and grooming others for sexual exploitation.

In addition to providing assessment and treatment for individuals directly viewing or producing child exploitation material, Shona Innes Psychology provides support for family members and social networks that may include parents and siblings, partners and their children.

Shona Innes Psychology conducts independent assessments and provides recommendations for those consuming child sexual exploitation material for the judicial process. Working with legal teams and the courts, we provide clear guidance for appropriate action and treatment that are best for the individual and in accordance with the Law, youth justice and correctional systems in balance with the requirements and expectations of the community.

Dr Shona Innes is renowned for her high level forensic and clinical psychology qualifications and significant tenure in working with young people with complex behaviours. These position her as a sought after practitioner and consultant to provide peer supervision, training, workshops and support for monitoring personnel.
