Sexual assault assessment and support

• Sensitive psychological assessments tailored to age, experience and cultural needs.
• Trauma-informed therapy for children, teens and adults.
• Support navigating ACC Sensitive Claims process.
• Short- and long-term counselling options.
• Education and support for whānau or caregivers.
• Culturally safe services delivered with compassion and confidentiality.

We understand that seeking support for sexual assault victims requires immense courage, which is why our team creates an environment where you feel heard, believed and respected.

Our team of registered psychologists, counsellors and trauma therapists is highly experienced in working with people who have experienced sexual abuse or assault. Our approach is:

• Confidential. Your privacy is protected at all times.
• Person-centred. You are in control of your healing journey.
• Evidence-based. We use proven approaches like EMDR, CBT, ACT, EFT and narrative therapy.
• Family/whānau-inclusive. With your consent, we can support your wider support network, too.

We take care to ensure that no talk in graphic detail is ever required for assessments or therapy. Our comprehensive sexual assault support extends beyond individual therapy to include practical guidance on legal processes, safety planning and rebuilding trust in relationships.

Our sexual assault assessment and support services are available to:

• individuals who have experienced sexual harm at any point in life
• children or young people who may be showing signs of trauma
• whānau or caregivers seeking support for a loved one
• clients referred through ACC Sensitive Claims, GPs or other providers
• self-funded individuals seeking private, confidential support.
