West Mercia Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre – Counselling Service
WMRSASC offer counselling to all who have experienced any form of rape or sexual abuse at any time in their lives. We also offer support to parents, carers or partners of the survivor as we understand this time can be difficult not just for the survivor but for those around them too.
Counselling provides a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space, that gives the individual the opportunity to explore and work through their experiences and the impact that sexual abuse has had on their lives. Our counsellors are here to listen, they don’t give advice, neither do they judge. They are here to help explore and acknowledge thoughts and feelings around the abuse and to let the survivor’s voice be heard.
Anyone aged over 18.
