Counselling services for male and female adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse

We provide a non-judgemental, confidential, safe and supportive atmosphere in which you will be given the time and space to explore your present in relation to your past. Talking about your feelings whilst being heard and supported may help you to manage them in a way that enables you to move forward in your life. Revival’s services are available to adults, 18+.

Dealing with the effects of sexual abuse in childhood or adolescence is not something you need to do alone. Some of the feelings you may be experiencing may be quite overwhelming and difficult to deal with. You may be plagued by memories that come in the form of flashbacks, body memories, mental images or nightmares. You may be trying to deal with anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, anger, depression, sexual difficulties, eating disorders, low self-esteem, difficulty in protecting yourself from harmful situations, parenting or relationship problems. To try to cope you may be drinking heavily, taking drugs or self-harming. You may be feeling suicidal.

Many survivors feel that what happened to them was a long time ago and there would be no point in talking about it now – but if it’s having an effect on your life, it’s never too late to talk about it.
