Our comprehensive team of counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists and psychiatrists have years of experience in working sensitively and confidentially with people who are survivors of sexual violence, and between them have decades of specialised experience.
Once matched with your preferred therapist, they will work alongside you to apply for financial assistance from ACC.
