For Young People

At Rosebank we support young people to heal from sexual abuse.  When someone abuses a child or young person, they can experience lots of confusing feelings, such as shame, guilt, self-blame, anger, confusion, fear and worry, just to name a few.

Young people might start having worries or problems that give them a hard time.

What’s a counsellor?
A counsellor is someone who listens and helps people with any worries or problems they might have.

Coming to see a counsellor can sometimes be fun. We often do painting and drawing as well as talking. Sometimes it is difficult to talk about feelings and worries, so it’s good to know that at counselling people don’t have to talk about anything they don’t want to.

Rosebank counsellors can help or you can check out this link for more information about Choosing a Counsellor.
