Many men live with the impact of child abuse for decades before speaking about it. What happens when they finally do, and what can we learn from the men who step forward?

In our latest blog, Sergio (Assessment and Support Practitioner) examines the recent increase in men accessing our service, to find out what the data tells us about how men experience trauma caused by child abuse, how they seek help, and what services like ours can do to support them earlier and more effectively.

What to expect at... Counselling ❤️

The first session is all about getting started at your own pace.

You may meet your Counsellor in person at one of our offices, or it might take place remotely by phone or online. If your session is remote, you will be advised to be in a private space where you can speak freely.

You and your counsellor will go through the counselling agreement- this helps you both create a shared understanding on how sessions work, what to expect and how you can work well together.

You will be invited to complete two questionnaires along with your counsellor- these help build a picture of how things have been for you lately and can help identify areas that need more attention.

You and your counsellor begin to explore the main issues that have brought you to counselling and consider what may be most helpful to focus on in your sessions.

Before your first session ends, you and your counsellor take some time to settle back into the present moment and check in on how you are feeling before arranging your next appointment.

Counselling offers a safe and confidential space to explore the impact your childhood experiences are having on your health, wellbeing and quality of life.

Our approach recognises that everyone’s experience is individual to them, and the support we offer is tailored around your personal needs and goals.

Last year we were lucky to meet groups from secondary schools across Scotland who chose to represent our charity for YPI Scotland, and worked incredibly hard to raise our profile among their peers and families.

We couldn't agree more with this insight shared by a group from St Columba's - child abuse is not spoken about enough. In fact that's the driver behind our new campaign, Time to Talk About Child Abuse.

It's very encouraging to see young people recognising the issue and advocating for its impact to be more openly acknowledged, and we'll be gathering more of their opinions as part of our research.

In the meantime, if your school is taking part in this year, our team are here and ready to help your young people get the most out of the experience.
