Providing professional counselling to survivors of childhood sexual abuse in North and East Ayrshire. Healing trauma and supporting growth.
Break the Silence offers free, specialist counselling in a safe, confidential space for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. We support healing from trauma and help post-traumatic growth. We also offer guidance for partners and family members whose lives experience the impact of their loved ones’ past trauma. Every survivor’s experience is unique and our support is provided collaboratively at the individual’s own pace, tailored to what feels right for them. Services are funded through local authority contracts, trusts, foundations, grants and donations; this ensures there is no cost to survivors to access our services.

What people say about us
The service has been fantastic
“The support from Break the Silence staff, craft group and reiki have all been great. All the staff are very welcoming and caring. The service has been fantastic. It was Archway and the Police who found the service for me.”
A positive effect
“Working with Break the Silence has had a positive effect on my day-to-day experiences. I feel more sensitive to situations and I have felt happiness. I would encourage others to incorporate this into their lives and accept help from BtS.”
A positive future
“This has really changed my outlook to a positive future – I wish my counsellor had been available to me many years ago.”
The start of a change
“The support that you gave me was the start of a change which I can’t put a price on. It was far from an instant fix but, I am much better than I was and my relationship with my partner and children is much better as a result.”
