Sexual abuse counselling
The personal impact of sexually violent and coercive behaviour can be devastating, and it is not necessarily true that "time heals all wounds". Whether you are feeling afraid, confused, alone, angry or a multitude of things, a trained counsellor can offer you the support you need - in whatever capacity you feel you need it.
We offer a women-only safe space in all of our venues, and a women-only referral pathway.
OUR SERVICES
How might counselling help?
Talking things through and knowing you are being listened to in a safe environment often helps.
SUPPORT
Your counsellor can help you to talk through the things that are concerning you. They listen without judgement. The aim is to help you feel more in charge of your own life, and to support you if you wish to make positive changes.
STRATEGIES
You will not be told what to do. However, if you are aware of a change that you would like to make but you’re not sure how to go about it, your counsellor can support you towards solutions that are practical, realistic and achievable.
AGENCY
It is up to you how much you share with your counsellor, and you have the right to make your own decision. You do not have to talk about anything that you don’t feel comfortable with. It is up to you whether or not you wish to continue with counselling.
