Welcome to 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, and our other support options 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. 

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 specialist counselling for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Due to high demand, we operate a waiting list for individual counselling sessions but have a range of other services available more quickly.

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
