  • “THROUGHOUT THE SESSIONS WITH MY COUNSELLOR AT RAPE CRISIS SOUTH LONDON, I FELT VALUED, BELIEVED AND LISTENED TO.”

  • “I FEEL EXTREMELY SUPPORTED BY MY CASEWORKER. I RECEIVED VERY PROFESSIONAL AND KIND SUPPORT – SHE’S ALWAYS WELL INFORMED AND ABLE TO HELP ME MANAGE MY ISSUES.”

  • Finding my voice activated the activist in me!

  • “MY COUNSELLOR MADE ME FEEL LISTENED TO, SHE UNDERSTOOD ME CULTURALLY WHICH MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN MY SUPPORT, AND SHE ALSO MADE ME SEE THAT I AM A LIKEABLE PERSON DESPITE MY PAST AND MY DIFFICULTIES.”

  • “Their attention to detail and commitment to quality truly stood out.”
