If you need to speak to a counsellor, would like to make an appointment or feel unsure of what has happened, where to go or what to do, call our 24/7 helpline and a counsellor will be there to listen and help.
Sometimes it might feel like you are on a lonely journey that others around you can’t understand. You may be struggling to speak about what has happened. Perhaps it feels as though your life has changed forever. If you can’t speak to anyone, speak to us.
Counselling is there to help you feel safe, supported and respected. Being able to speak in a safe space can be the key to help unlock those aspects that you find troubling. It is a space in which you in collaboration with your counsellor can figure out how you would like to go forward and able to make informed decisions for yourself.
Anyone from the age of 14 years and upward who is affected by sexual violence – survivors and the people supporting them. Everyone is welcome regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.
The decision to come for counselling is completely your own. Some people come immediately after experiencing sexual violence and others come months or years later. When you feel you need help we are here to support you.
If you need to speak to a counsellor, would like to make an appointment or feel unsure of what has happened, where to go or what to do, call our 24/7 helpline and a counsellor will be there to listen and help.
