Counsellors

Can you help the  "hidden" members of our society that have been affected by criminal trauma in some way. These are mostly family members and friends of offenders, who often feel helpless, isolated and can lose their support networks through the action of someone else.

We are a non-judgmental organisation and will support them for as long as they need, either over the phone or in person, where required.

We have vacancies for counsellors who are both trained or are in their second year of their Diploma training, to provide professional counselling during a member’s journey, through the stages of arrest through court, sentencing and prison.
