Testimonials

I had no idea what to expect and I was very nervous but soon realised that it was okay and I did not need to worry.

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

Got support in school when they were being unhelpful and unsupportive with my situation making me feel less alone.

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

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

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

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

I feel as though I am much more in control of my emotions. I do not owe anything to my rapist, he is irrelevant and not worth any of my time.

[The counsellor] was never judgemental and always kind.

[I valued] somebody taking time to help me.

[It helped] to have someone listen and believe what I say.

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

[Counselling] gave me the language to talk about my assault and the motivation to do so.

There have been no intrusive questions. I don't have to mention details, which make me feel uncomfortable. Everyone is understanding and really friendly. I value that the support is free and in such a nice environment. Everyone believes you.

Being believed, understood, accepted and getting challenged so that I could go on the journey towards living with freedom. Freedom of thought, emotion and action.

Everyone was friendly and welcoming and understanding and it was something stable when everything else was chaotic

[Counselling] has helped me feel a lot more confident in speaking about my problems. I feel more in control of my decisions and understand I can make them.

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

I will never be able to thank my ISVA enough for everything.

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

I had no idea what to expect and I was very nervous but soon realised that it was okay and I did not need to worry.

[My ISVA helped me with] understanding that how I felt was rational and my experiences were real.

[I valued] having the time and a safe space to work through the things that scare me most and face difficult thoughts and feelings. This has made a massive difference and changed my life immeasurably.

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.

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 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.

The support I have received was remarkable.

[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 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.”
