We are pleased to announce that we have achieved Victims First approved Psychotherapist and Counsellor status. Victims First Specialist Counselling Service is managed by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley (i.e. across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire) to coordinate and improve access to psychotherapeutic counselling for victims of crime including victims of rape, abuse, attacks, complex grief, traffic accidents, exploitation and slavery. This reinforces our specialist skills in Trauma (Fears and Anxiety) using both Counselling and EMDR Psychotherapy as means to resolve client issues and goals.
