Rape and sexual abuse are not normal, and never ok. Unfortunately, many children and young people experience different forms of rape, sexual abuse and sexual assault during their lives. You may find yourself feeling scared, overwhelmed or anxious and although it might feel scary, talking about things can help.
Through talking or creative play our specialist counsellors create a safe space to help you share your story and look at the effects it has had on you and your life.
