we provide in-person counselling support from a range of locations across Birmingham.

 

we provide immediate, paid for counselling services, with counsellors who are specialists in the field of sexual violence & abuse. you can access our counselling services at the time when you request support, to quickly meet your needs, offered in a way that suits you.  there is no waiting list. we provide services when you need them.

​

counselling sessions provide you with an opportunity to build a supportive & collaborative relationships with your counsellor; this space will allow you to explore the impacts of sexual violence & abuse, acknowledge your strengths/the ways you've coped with trauma & explore any changes you wish to make to create the life you desire.

​

we take an approach which acknowledges trauma can be carried within ourselves. this approach recognises experience, understands responses to experiences that are overwhelming as normal, rational & often really sensible, explores stories, rejects labels, seeks to redress power imbalance & builds upon foundations of empowerment and connection. instead of labelling you or the ways you have coped with sexual violence & abuse, GINA will focus on your strengths, how these helped you survive & explore how they can be built on.
