This is often the first point of contact for support from The Centre. The help lines opening hours are limited but a 24 helpline number is on our answer machine.

Ongoing face to face counselling
A counselling appointment is arranged for you at a time that suits you. When you come to the centre your counsellor will open the door to you and they will be the only person you meet. Generally the appointments are once a week for an hour. All our counsellors have been specifically trained to work with sexual violence issues and are accredited with the Rape Crisis Network Ireland, many are further accredited with other professional bodies such as IACP, BACP and IAHIP. Counselling offers a space for you to explore the impact your experience is having on your life where you are heard, believed and supported in your emotional responses. Our face to face counselling services are currently available in Sligo town and Carrick-on- Shannon
Survivors groups
We offer support groups for survivors, where you can be supported in a therapeutic group by others who have had similar experiences and a trained facilitator.
