Testimonials

[I appreciate] The feeling of not being alone & isolated & I hope that this group can be repeated to help and support more women in our situation in understanding and knowing they are NOT ALONE!

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 don’t where I’d be if it wasn't for this amazing support

Thank you for being there to talk to when I felt like I had no-one else. Thank you for getting me to talk about it all and then listening when I wouldn’t shut up!

I valued the gentle, non-pressuring environment. I felt safe and like I finally had someone who doesn't judge, laugh or tell anyone else. It has really boosted my trust and strength.

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.

You are wonderful, keep existing!

The free counselling sessions have been amazing - the best part of all my contact with Rape Crisis.

Non-judgemental, honest caring people who have been with us every step of the way.

[I valued] having the support from a really nice counsellor. I felt safe and the help was amazing with coping strategies.

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

I feel very happy with the support I received and feel like it has helped a lot.

Counselling has helped me understand and come to terms with my situation.

I feel more confident in talking about my problems instead of hiding them.

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.

[My counsellor] was an incredible listener and gave me confidence for everyday life. Understanding the emotions surrounding rape was also useful.

You don't know what you need to know until you experience abuse. CRCC has made it an easier road to navigate and I feel totally supported at a time we thought we would not survive!

Every victim and every victim supporter needs to be given the opportunity to attend one of these groups. They are absolutely invaluable and an essential part of the therapeutic journey to recovery and surviving an assault.

[I valued] being understood and believed. Not judged.

Thank you so much - I don’t know what I would have done without this support.

I am sad to be leaving today's session as I have truly made a massive step thanks to [my counsellor].

Knowing I wasn’t alone

The support I have received has really helped me and I am very grateful [...] it has been a massive help and I will be holding onto the positive outlook it has helped me to get hold of as much as I can.

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.

My protective shell now lets the air through! I don't feel responsible for protecting every young woman. I don't feel the need to be on constant alert for danger.

[I valued] somebody taking time to help me.

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

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.
