FAQ’s
Is counselling for me?
Not every survivor of sexual, physical or emotional abuse understands the connection between their experiences and the difficulties they are now experiencing. Some people find it very difficult to acknowledge the reasons behind their current struggles, depression, low self-esteem, guilt, eating or sleeping disturbances and difficultly trusting people. These are just some of the ways in which abuse can have a lasting impact on mental wellbeing. Regardless of how much time has passed since the abuse ended, sharing your experiences, when you are ready to do so, can have a powerful healing effect.
