Safe, Specialised Care
Healing at your pace
Sexual violence, including assault, rape, childhood sexual abuse, and coercion, can have profound and lasting impacts. Survivors may experience PTSD, shame, difficulties with trust and intimacy, and a fragmented sense of identity.
Our therapists have specialist training in trauma and sexual violence. We provide a space that is safe, confidential, and entirely at your pace. You won't be pushed to disclose details or move faster than feels right for you.
You do not need to have reported what happened to access therapy. Sessions are confidential, and you are in control.
We support survivors with
- PTSD and complex trauma
- Shame, guilt, and self-blame
- Body disconnection and dissociation
- Trust and intimacy difficulties
- Anxiety and hypervigilance
- Depression and emotional numbness
- Navigating legal and reporting processes
- Relationships and communication
- Rebuilding a sense of safety

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to report to police before I can access therapy?
No. Therapy is completely independent of any legal process. You can access support whether or not you've reported, and whatever you decide about reporting in the future. Your therapist's role is to support you, not to direct any decisions about disclosure.
I'm worried about being overwhelmed in sessions. How do you manage that?
Your therapist will work carefully to keep sessions within what's manageable for you. We don't push into trauma material before building safety and stabilisation first. You are always in control of the pace, and you can stop or slow down at any point.
It happened a long time ago. Is it too late to get support?
Not at all. Many people carry the effects of sexual violence for years or decades before seeking help — sometimes because they weren't ready, sometimes because they didn't have access, and sometimes because they minimised what happened. It's never too late, and old wounds can still heal.
I feel ashamed. Will my therapist judge me?
No. Shame is one of the most common responses to sexual violence, and it has nothing to do with fault or what you deserve. Our therapists work with a great deal of respect and without judgment. You will not be questioned, doubted, or made to feel responsible for what happened to you.
