Break the Silence is a registered charity that provides free, professional counselling to survivors of childhood sexual abuse in north and east Ayrshire.

“When survivors come to our service we want them to know that they will be believed, that they will have choices about how they experience things, and that they can go at a pace that feels okay to them.”

“The work is very much set at a pace that the client wants to work at, focusing on the goals that they have brought to therapy.”

“Break the Silence tailors the sessions to each individual. Some people might want to talk about the trauma and start processing the trauma. We go at each individual’s pace.”

“The role of the therapist is to help you identify where you are feeling stuck, and to help you navigate the changes you need to make, and that is your choice and your changes.”

“Break the Silence has been working with the survivors of childhood sexual abuse for many years and we understand the complexities involved. If you feel anxious about getting in touch, reach out and we’ll be happy to speak with you.”
