520 _aThis article explores theoretical, social and organisational factors from a social work perspective which affect 36 Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) Accredited sexual abuse counsellors. The author examines the relationship between how counsellors respond to their clients' trauma, the theoretical practice frameworks they use, and the impact of this work on counsellors' personal relationships. Vicarious traumatisation is discussed, alongside strategies that promote worker wellbeing. This research employs a qualitative methodology, and randomly selected participants include social workers, psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, counsellors, and significant others of these professionals. The research suggests that both sexual abuse counsellors and their significant others require an avenue for expressing the ramifications of involvement in this type of work. The author discusses the importance of personal values and philosophies, multi-theoretical frameworks, and a process-orientated, as opposed to a rule-bound, context.
