Testimonials

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.

You are wonderful, keep existing!

[My counsellor] was very supportive and understanding.

I am much less angry and confused. I feel more in control of what is going on than I did.

[My ISVA] helped me all the way through the fight for justice, she is awesome - thanks to her I am still sane!

[The ISVA Navigator] was lovely and made me feel comfortable about speaking about what had happened and she was able to tell me what will happen next.

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

Fantastic counselling, with such a kind and patient counsellor.

[Counselling gave me a] more positive outlook on life in general and me feeling that you able to control how you deal with any situation that's thrown at you, even if you have no control over the situation itself. I also have a higher sense of self-belief.

I was very happy with the support I received. I was just the right amount of understanding without feeling patronised.

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

They were there when & if I needed help.

[I have learned] that I can write about things other than depressing subjects, and there are people out there who will support and encourage you no matter how ‘damaged’ everyone else labels you, and you are not alone in what you’ve been through.

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

[My counselling helped by] being able to introspect and trust myself better. Reduced self blame.

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

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

“I understand why I feel/felt the way I do/did and no longer feel as though those feelings are wrong or have to be hidden. I feel valued as a woman/human/someone who has been raped when I did not before.”

[The counselling was] a space to talk about my worries and insecurities surrounding abuse without it being difficult.

Knowing I wasn’t alone

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

[I valued] being able to open up to someone that's not connected with my family.

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

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.

She was lovely and made me feel comfortable about speaking about what had happened and she was able to tell me what will happen next [if I choose to report].

The counselling sessions have helped me come to terms with what has happened and how I feel and made me a stronger person.

[My ISVA] was so kind and supportive - I honestly couldn't speak more highly of her.

[I valued] being able to share my life story and understand how it's changed me in a nice environment, and having someone who listened and helped me understand.

My daughters' had someone they could engage with (their ChISVA) and I was able to come to terms with what has happened to me and actual be able to see a future was possible.
