Support after rape & sexual assault

COUNSELLING SERVICES AT JERSEY ACTION AGAINST RAPE (JAAR) 

At JAAR, we provide a free, one-to-one counselling service for anyone affected—directly or indirectly—by sexual trauma or rape.

We recognise that taking the first step can feel overwhelming. Our service is here to support you in a way that feels safe and manageable.

A safe and supportive space

Our counselling sessions offer a private and confidential environment, where you are in control of what you choose to share and when. There is no pressure to talk about anything before you feel ready. You will be met with understanding, respect, and without judgement.

Our approach

We work in a trauma-informed way, meaning we understand how trauma can affect people in different ways. Our fully qualified counsellors prioritise your safety, choice, and autonomy, and adapt their approach to meet your individual needs.

How counselling can help

Counselling is a form of talking therapy that provides a supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. It can help to:

  • reduce feelings of isolation
  • support you in feeling heard and understood
  • develop coping strategies
  • process experiences in a way that feels right for you
  • rebuild a sense of strength, resilience, and self-empowerment

Accessing support

If you feel ready to reach out—or even if you’re unsure—we are here to listen.

You don’t have to go through this alone.
