Equal Opportunities Policy

As a team at Lifecentre we believe in the intrinsic dignity of every human being, their human rights and the importance of treating all people with respect, hope and value. We offer services on a non discriminatory basis. Lifecentre has an Equal Opportunities Policy in place that all staff and volunteers are required to adhere to.

Counselling at Lifecentre

Our number one purpose is to provide therapeutic services to survivors of rape and sexual abuse and their close supporters.

This section will explain to you the face-to-face counselling we can offer. We hope it will answer all your questions about how it works and what to expect so that you feel more confident to make contact with us.

We appreciate that some of the steps in reaching out to others are not easy, but we want to encourage you that this has made a huge difference to other people's ability to survive and then thrive and we would love for this to be true for you too.

If you’re new here, a good place to start to find out about our counselling is the page “what to expect when I phone”.

We recognise that the healing from something as complex as rape or other abusive sexual acts requires a holistic approach. This can include physical, psychological, emotional, criminal and relational issues, as well as sometimes the transpersonal or spiritual. Each person when they come has their own priority as to what is important to them.

Lifecentre counselling and support is client led: we listen to the priorities of each individual and tailor the counselling around your personal needs and goals.

"Here to listen - not to judge"

"After I was attacked all of my relationships broke down. I was humiliated, living in fear, scared to go out. I was spending all my time at home crying with the curtains closed and doors locked. On my 22nd birthday I took steps to end my own life. Somehow I survived. I realised I needed help. Since Lifecentre, I am able to go out. I'm slowly starting to get my confidence back. I don't get as many bad dreams or sleep with a baseball bat under my pillows. I can laugh now and six weeks ago I wore a dress."
