About us
Rotherham Abuse Counselling Service has been providing specialist therapeutic support since 2005. Our mission is to help survivors of sexual, physical or mental abuse and domestic violence who live or work Rotherham to fulfill their potential and lead happier, healthier lives.
Counselling can help people to manage and relieve the distress caused by abuse. Our counselling service can support you in taking control of your situation and decisions in making your future a positive one.
If something has happened to you, then talking about things can help. Our counsellors are here to listen to you without judgement, they won’t tell you what to do and they won’t give out your personal information (unless in exceptional circumstances).
If you think that our services may be beneficial, you can refer yourself to the service through our website.
The services we offer:
One to One Therapy. For men, women and young people aged 13+ working on a one to one basis with a counsellor to support you in working through the
problems that you are experiencing.
Therapy groups provide an alternative to individual therapy, enabling clients to experience the richness of peer support. Facilitators promote a safe, supportive and confidential environment focusing on peer support.
Drop-In is an informal group which aims to increase confidence, share members’ knowledge, skills, and expand their social network. The group is for women who are looking for a relaxed support group
The pre-therapy course offers clients the opportunity to develop coping mechanisms and an understanding of the impact on abuse in preparation for commencing therapy.
Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) offer practical help, information and support for victims of rape or sexual abuse and their families. The ISVA will also give you information to help you decide whether you want to report the incident(s) to the police. If you decide not to report the matter, support will still be provided.

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.
