These services are designed to be trauma-informed, confidential, and tailored to the individual\u2019s emotional needs. Whether the assault occurred recently or years ago, counselling offers a safe space to explore feelings, process experiences, and regain a sense of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Counselling referrals are typically provided by trained professionals who specialise in sexual trauma. They understand the complex impact that sexual violence can have\u2014not just physically, but emotionally and psychologically. Sessions may focus on managing anxiety, rebuilding self-esteem, coping with flashbacks, or navigating relationships. Importantly, survivors are never pressured to talk about anything they\u2019re not ready to share; the pace and content of therapy are entirely led by the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accessing counselling through a SARC doesn\u2019t require a police report, and services are free of charge. This ensures that support is available to anyone who needs it, regardless of their legal choices. Juniper Lodge also works closely with other local organisations to provide referrals for long-term therapy or specialist support, such as for young people or those with additional needs. Ultimately, counselling at a SARC is about restoring hope, fostering resilience, and helping survivors rebuild their lives on their own terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our counselling service offers a safe, supportive space to explore feelings, process personal experiences, and gradually regain a sense of control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-89","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
