Welcome to our new, free, not-for-profit counselling service for people in Northern Tasmania who have experienced complex early childhood trauma and sexual assault, as well as those people who care for and support them.

This service is for anyone in our community! You might be a survivor of sexual assault or childhood trauma yourself, or a worker, family member, friend or colleague of someone needing help and support.

We aim to provide information, support and assistance and to work with you in a flexible way. Please let us know what would be most helpful and we will do our best to come up with a plan with you that is positive and realistic.

Since we opened we have begun working with a wide range of people from young children to older adults from all walks of life. Workers from a range of services have met with us and shared resources, ideas and encouragement for our service. Because we are a small independent organisation, we can be really creative and flexible. This means that we are able to spend our time on what really matters-you!

If you have already contacted us or used our service; please feel free to pass our contact details on to others who might be interested. We are only a phone call, text or email away.

Together we can break down the isolation and help make our community a safer place to live and work.
