Since 1989 we have provided support to survivors of rape and sexual violence

“Having my counsellor to talk to has helped me so much. I can recognise the progress I have made and I am feeling more confident and assertive.”

“I have really valued feeling listened to and validated and its good talking to someone who is a specialist in their topic.”

“During my time with you I have felt more focused and able to control my emotions much easier, I have felt comfortable from the get go and the sessions have helped me recognise the guilt and stress is not mine to hang on to.”

“I feel it is so important for this service to be avaliable to anyone with past sexual trauma. The counsellors have such depth of understanding that supports recovery better than any other counselling service I’ve engaged with in the past”

“Your support and care has taken a lot of worries away and I feel I can now move on and be a better me.”

“You never judged me, and always feeling believed has been so valuable because as a survivor of abuse we are so often not believed. The support has helped strengthen me on my healing journey.”

“I felt really ashamed when I first came for counselling and blamed myself for the sexual abuse I suffered as a child. I now know it was not my fault. I feel stronger and am taking my control back for the first time in my life.”

“Having my counsellor to talk to has helped me so much. I can recognise the progress I have made and I am feeling more confident and assertive.”

“I have really valued the honesty and genuine companionship I have found in counselling. There was such a personal touch – not too formal or intimidating – I felt able to be me.”

“Counselling made me think that no one can take anything away from me because I came back stronger.”

“Thank you for all your help and advice. I would not have got through it without your support. The support from RASAC has changed my life”
