Building on Your Progress
Recovery is a journey with both breakthroughs and challenges. Many survivors tell us that while they've made progress in their healing, they sometimes encounter new emotions or experiences that need additional support.
Whether you're looking to strengthen your coping strategies or explore different types of support, we're here to help you continue moving forward.
As you progress through your recovery, your needs may change. Our team can help you explore different types of support - from body-based therapies to group programmes - ensuring you have access to the right resources at the right time.
Connection can be a powerful part of healing. We have many ways you can engage with others who understand your experiences. Many survivors find that sharing their journey and supporting others becomes an important part of their own healing process.
It's normal for new feelings or memories to surface as you progress in your recovery. Our experienced team can help you develop additional coping strategies and understand these experiences within the context of your healing journey.
Recovery often involves discovering new strengths and ways of being. Through our interventions you can explore different aspects of healing while maintaining connection with professional support when needed.
Every journey is unique. We work at your pace and respect your choices.

Our Three-Phased Approach
We work to a 3 phase response to trauma, Dr. Pierre Janet conceived of the phased framework to trauma recovery in the late 1800’s and Dr. Judith Herman made it more readily known in her groundbreaking book, Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence (1992). This is the evidence based model we use to navigate survivors through trauma recovery, but understand that no on size fits all.
Before we can do start to deal with the trauma you experienced, we need to ensure you are safe, have a supportive network and understand the impact of your sexual violence. We will most likely offer you our Hold Fast programme either 1:1 or in a group with other survivors – depending on your preference.
Specialist trauma therapy (also known as Remembrance and Mourning). This will most often take the form of trauma informed therapy or counselling sessions or a recommended group therapy programme.
Focus on rebuilding and strengthening. This may take place through alternative therapies, other activities, peer support or through referrals to other organisations.
