Counselling

Family Matters Counselling Service has been created to provide skilled help for children and adults at a time when they are experiencing difficulties in their lives.

Childhood sexual abuse and rape leaves people with scars that take time and understanding to work through. Sometimes it is hard for people to relate the historical abuse with what is happing in their lives today.

People can become upset, they may want to hide away from the world, be angry, sad, lonely, desperate and many other troublesome emotions. Some people are suicidal or they self-harm, some people are very negative in their view of themselves and the world.

Because of this and the internal stress it creates life can seem too difficult and not worth much. The pattern of abuse continues with negative thoughts, negative self-talk etc. etc.

Why us?
A talk with a qualified counsellor one who is additionally experienced in sexual abuse awareness can make a difference. They can understand and put together some of the emotions you have been hiding away. They can help you make sense of what is going on in your life. They can offer the kind of support and understanding that you so desperately need.
