Specialist Counselling for Sexual Abuse

---

You are not alone recovey is possible — and it begins with feeling safe.

If you’ve experienced sexual abuse, you may carry deep pain, confusion, or shame — sometimes silently, sometimes all-consuming. It might feel hard to trust, to talk about what happened, or to even believe recovery is possible.

                   What happened to you was NOT  your fault. 

                     You are NOT  broken — and you don’t have to face this alone.

Experiencing trauma can leave a life changing impact, it's important to seek help from trained professionals. 

We understand how trauma — especially sexual abuse — can affect every part of your life: your body, your emotions, your relationships, identity and how you funtion in the world.

We take all of that into account and shape our approach to support the work that you want to do.

This includes:

• Safety — aiming to build a trusting respecful relationship with your counsellor where you feel physically and emotionally safe, to enable you to feel safe enought to talk about the difficulties you want to work through to achieve your aims and goals.. This takes courage, time and we will go at your pace. 

• Choice — you are always in control of what we talk about and how we move forward. You will NOT be forced to talk about your abuse unless you want to or are ready. 

• Trust — the foundation of everything we do, 

• Compassion — we hold space for your pain, without judgment
