Survivors-Support to Bee-lieve Survivors C.I.C

I created Survivors Support following more than 15 years of working across charitable and public-sector services, supporting children, young people, adults and families.

Throughout that time, one message came through repeatedly:

“The support was helpful, but I needed more.”

Charitable, community and public services provide valuable and essential support, often while working within limited funding, increasing demand, long waiting lists and restrictions on the number or type of sessions they can offer.

Many services are doing everything they can with the resources available. However, the need for accessible, specialist and longer-term trauma support continues to grow.

I wanted to explore a different and more sustainable approach to providing trauma-informed counselling—one that could work alongside existing services while creating greater choice and opportunities for people who may need additional or longer-term support.

Survivors Support was developed with a commitment to providing compassionate, professional and trauma-informed support while exploring ways to make specialist counselling more accessible to people affected by trauma.

Our vision is to develop a sustainable mixed model in which private counselling, workplace counselling, professional training and services for businesses and organisations help contribute towards the development of affordable, lower-cost and funded counselling opportunities for people experiencing financial barriers.

• Private trauma-informed counselling for adults and young people aged 16 and over
• Affordable and lower-cost counselling options, where available
• Online trauma-informed counselling across the UK
• Face-to-face counselling in Kent and South East London
• Workplace counselling and employee wellbeing support for people affected by interpersonal trauma
• Bespoke trauma-informed training and workshops for businesses and organisations
