About us
GINA is a social enterprise offering private, specialist counselling for individuals subjected to sexual violence and abuse. We offer 'face to face' counselling from our Birmingham City Centre premises or telephone counselling from the comfort of your own home (nationwide). There is NO WAITING LIST; we provide support when you need it.
We take a Trauma Informed Approach, which acknowledges that trauma can be carried around within ourselves. This approach recognises experience, understands responses to experiences that are overwhelming as normal, rational and often really sensible, explores stories, rejects labels, seeks to redress power imbalance and builds upon foundations of empowerment and connection.
GINA is the sister organisation of the Rape & Sexual Violence Project (RSVP); a charity providing compassionate, free support services for individuals subjected to sexual violence and abuse in Birmingham and Solihull. All of GINA's profits are donated to RSVP, to help provide free support services for those who need them.
Training, qualifications & experience
Our GINA counsellors are specialists in the field of sexual violence and abuse.
Member organisations *
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
