SEXUAL ABUSE COUNSELLING with the ROWAN PROJECT
Who are we?
Alongside our work with Domestic Abuse we offer specialist support for people aged 16 years and over who have been victims of sexual abuse/violence/rape and/or current/historic child sexual abuse living in Breckland, Norfolk.
Please feel free to download the Rowan Project leaflet.
Our services are free to clients and we offer up to 18 sessions of therapy with a fully qualified, registered therapist. Sessions can be delivered face to face at our Community Hub in Watton or online or by telephone.
We offer day (Monday to Friday) and one late evening appointment and offer a non-judgemental service.
We work to the BACP Ethical Framework (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
All referrals undergo a robust assessment so we can work with you to provide counselling that’s right for you and includes you at every point.
