At SurvivorsUK we have a team of Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVAs). They are trained to provide emotional and practical support to survivors of rape, sexual abuse, and sexual assault who have reported to the police or are considering reporting to the police.

Our main role is to support around the criminal justice process, but we are independent from the police and we are not legal advisors.

Your ISVA will support you in a non-judgemental way to address your needs and will help you ensure that other organisations also provide you with the right kind of support.

Coping with sexual abuse can be really tough and you can feel like you’re the only one. Meeting other men and boys who have gone through a similar experience to you can really help. The young people’s group at SurvivorsUK is a place where you can meet and chat with other young people.

You may not be sure if a group is right for you. No problem, contact us anyway and we’ll do our best to help or to point you in the right direction.

This service is available to anyone in the UK.

Counselling is the opportunity to speak with someone in depth about what is going on for you. You may wish to talk about the sexual abuse, other things which have happened in the past, any difficulties in your current life, concerns about the future, your feelings about yourself, managing your feelings, your relationships with others, or anything else which is on your mind.

This service is available to those residing in any London Borough. If you prefer, or if getting to us is tricky, you can speak to a counsellor over the phone or using online chat or Whatsapp.

You can self refer by completing our online referral form here, by phoning our office line 0203 598 3898, or by emailing [email protected].
