Since 1989, we have provided long-term counselling to support women who are recovering from childhood sexual abuse. As the service has grown we have added in crisis counselling, telephone and online counselling. In 2016, we opened our 3 outreach locations in Coalville, Hinckley and Loughborough. On average we are contacted by 350+ women every year for support in dealing with their trauma. They wor

We not only have fully qualified counsellors but also take on students who are accumulating their hours to complete their qualification. All counsellors adhere to the BACP ethical guidelines. Our service is charged based on income. We are dependent on finding significant additional funding throughout the year from other sources.

For many survivors of CSA, the impact can be felt long after the abuse has ended. Talking therapy offers a safe, supportive space where you can share your experiences without judgement and at a pace that feels right for you.

Therapy can help you make sense of difficult thoughts and emotions, understand the effects of trauma, and develop ways to cope when things feel overwhelming. It can also support you in rebuilding trust, strengthening self-esteem, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that may have been lost along the way.
