Testimonials

Everyone that I have spoken with on the phone was very helpful and understanding. My ISVA and counsellor really helped me through it and it had changed my life in such a positive way.

[I valued] the understanding and compassionate way in which I have been treated. This has helped me grow and learn more about myself and how to cope with things I have learnt so much and honestly this has been amazing.

[Having ISVA support] confirmed my desire to teach and help and guide children towards becoming healthy and developed adults, it has also helped me with my paintings and seeing how I can use my creativity to express some of my anxiety and trauma.

I value that it is a place that I feel safe, listen to and treated as an individual. I value all the support and knowledgeable advice that I have received.

[The counsellor] was never judgemental and always kind.

The counselling I received afterwards was amazing in helping me through life after the event.

[Having an ISVA] made me feel relieved of the pressure of reporting on my own, meaning I had more brain power/capacity to do other fulfilling things.

I did not know I could report anonymously and it has felt good for me to do this.

My daughter feels more confident with [her ChISVA’s] help.

The one to one support, [my ISVA] was fantastic and very proactive.

I have had such amazing support; I can't thank you enough.

[My counsellor] was very supportive and understanding.

There are so many positive changes because of [ISVA] support. It’s been life-changing. I received more support than I even knew was possible. I now have a great support network, help at university, and counselling. [My ISVA] gave me back my hope, my voice, my courage, and she helped me make it through the worst times in the immediate aftermath. She explained my feelings which was hugely beneficial and she was incredibly emotionally supportive when I was providing crime information. She was outstanding.

I have learnt so much about myself and feel that after everything I have been through I have come out a better version of myself.

Being able to think more positively. Learned not to use negative/angry language where possible.

It was nice for me to have someone to talk to who could not just listen but give advice as well. I also was really happy that I learnt more about myself through these sessions.

I have learnt so much about myself and feel that after everything I have been through I have come out a better version of myself.

I felt that no matter how silly I thought I was being, my counsellor would listen and completely understand my thoughts and how it relates to the violence that happened.

It has helped me talk to friends, talk to my partner and made those relationships stronger as well as helping me understand and forgive myself for things that happened in the past.

[It helped] having a supportive counsellor. Feeling listened to and believed.

[The support helped], especially with my self-esteem and how I handle relationships (like not just romantic but all of them).

[In my counselling sessions] I didn't just talk about the "rape". I managed to get other issues out in the open.

[Because of the counselling] I understand myself and my emotions better.

It was a way to express emotions in a safe environment.

I was really impressed with the support and kindness I experienced from the ISVA service. It gave me confidence to start dealing with the situation. It's a great service.

I have had such amazing support; I can't thank you enough.

[Counselling] helped me to realise I had all the coping strategies there but just needed affirmation. I now believe in myself.

[The support] has been so important in my life. My ISVA helped me get in contact with Women's Aid who helped me get a flat when I had nowhere or no-one. I am so very grateful. The support for legal advice and counselling has been a blessing.
