about us
SAIL is a registered charity. We are based in Chesterfield and offer free specialist counselling support for people aged 18 and over in Derbyshire who have experienced childhood sexual abuse.
Counselling is provided by volunteers, some are survivors themselves. All counsellors are either qualified or in training; they receive ongoing support and supervision to ensure they are working to high professional standards
TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER
HOW
CAN WE HELP?
"Counselling has allowed me to stop punishing myself
for the abuse: I realised I am not a bad person, not a victim but a survivor"
is
this for me?
"SAIL is the only place where I feel totally safe. I feel that my counsellor is the only one who really understands how hard things are for me, how tormented I feel. My counsellor listens without telling me what to do. She and SAIL are my lifeline"
how
do i start?
"I found it hard to make the first call, I broke down and said I would have to call back - you were great and said that was fine."
