"The conversation with Bev, my counsellor, was really enjoyable. Her gentle tone created a natural and peaceful atmosphere, making it easier for me to navigate through my difficult memories. Sharing the painful experiences that have haunted me was a challenge, but Bev never rushed or pressured me. Instead, she empowered me to realize my own sense of safety. She helped me recognize that the harassment I endured wasn't my fault, despite my tendency to blame myself. Also, the setting of our conversation made me feel secure and comforted as if the place itself exuded warmth and safety. I consider myself fortunate to have accepted Gina's assistance. If any of my friends find themselves in a similar situation, I won't hesitate to recommend her."
"I wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you have done to help me since the beginning of this year. I didn't think I'd ever get back to feeling like myself again and you helped me get here so I can't thank you enough. Your work is amazing."
​
"I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how privileged and honoured it is to be able to access the counselling services offered by GINA."
​
"Your organisation has given me my sanity and life back. I cannot thank you enough for the help you provide."
​
"I have an immense desire to "fix me" and improve my mental well-being, whilst working through and understanding how the trauma of sexual abuse has affected me. The way in which the GINA team facilitates this is commendable in so many ways."
​
"You provide such an amazing service, should be proud of yourselves."
​
"Thank you for the work that you do."
"The GINA workbook is an amazing resource, with an aesthetic which is appealing and engaging to our student audience. The workbook encourages self-care exploration under the themes of Mind, Body, Creativity, Social & Check-in. We will be using the workbook to enhance the support we can offer to our students. We really value our partnership with GINA and we cannot recommend these workbooks highly enough. Thank you GINA for your creativity and enabling our community to benefit from your brilliance."
“To women who have been subjected to any form of sexual violence & violence (& even those who haven’t): ("To Be a Woman") is a beautiful book, written by my beautiful friend & I cannot recommend it enough. I have sat on my living room floor laughing out loud, ugly crying & feeling so many emotions in between. She has poured her heart out into these words & I sincerely hope they reach the people who need to hear them most. It is raw, honest, relatable, emotional, empowering & inspirational. Not only does it address the complex emotions & questions women may have after rape & sexual assault, but it de-stigmatises conversations about rape & discusses issues at the root of our society. It captures the essence of what it means to be a woman & everything that comes with it.”
