Counselling

One to one counselling in Rape Crisis Centres is provided by professionally qualified experienced counsellors to people who have experienced sexual violence and to their family, friends and supporters.  It offers a confidential safe space for people to explore any thoughts and feelings preventing them from moving on with their lives.  The duration of the time people attend for counselling can vary.  Crisis counselling is available to those in the initial aftermath of a rape or sexual assault with the option of short and long term counselling to follow.  A counselling appointment lasts approx. 1 hour and can be weekly or fortnightly.
