Supporting You

What Does Counselling for Rape Victims Involve?

Step 1

To begin your treatment, one of our Therapists will begin by asking you about yourself and life before the rape or sexual assault to give them a context for your experiences and ensure that the approach that they prescribed is tailored to your individual needs and personality. This will also give you time to get to know your Therapist and feel comfortable in their company.

Step 2

Your Therapist will then talk to you about your rape or sexual abuse and its impact on you and your life at a level of detail that you feel comfortable. You will not be asked to provide details that you are not comfortable sharing.

Step 3

Your Therapist will then teach you the skills you need to reduce your emotional distress and process your experiences in a way that allows them to gradually move into the background of your memory and the pain associated with them to soften.

Step 4

Finally, you will then work together to repair any damage done to your self-esteem and confidence and re-engage with your life and relationships.
