Supporting women recovering from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland
Counselling at Quetzal
Childhood sexual abuse can have long-lasting effects on your well-being, but counselling can help you in working through the trauma and its impact on your life. Through counselling, you can find a path toward healing and recovery.
Remember that everyone’s journey is unique. It’s important to work with a counsellor experienced in trauma and abuse who can provide the appropriate support and guidance for your specific needs.
Quetzal specialise in supporting female survivors. We have a deep understanding of the specific challenges that women encounter as survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Our services provide a safe and inclusive space where you can feel understood, validated, and connect with other survivors.
Women-only services create an additional layer of safety and comfort for you as a survivor. Having a space exclusively for female survivors can help you feel more at ease discussing sensitive topics and sharing your emotions.
With our all-female staff and volunteer team, we provide a safe and secure environment in which we deliver unique care and attention to each woman based on their specific needs.
As a women-only service, we want to emphasize that we welcome and support all women, including transgender women. We recognise and affirm that gender identity is a deeply personal and authentic aspect of each individual’s experience. We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and non-discriminatory environment for all survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
We are committed to providing free, confidential counselling. Due to high demand, we operate a waiting list for counselling sessions. While waiting for a one-to-one counselling appointment, we offer a range of supportive resources, including:
- Support Groups – A safe space to connect with others facing similar challenges.
- Emotional Support – Ongoing check-ins and guidance from our skilled volunteers.
- Workshops – Practical sessions to help you develop coping strategies and resilience.
- Online Resources – Self-help tools and materials available anytime.

Our experienced counsellors are available for affordable paid one-to-one sessions separately from Quetzal services
