About the organisation
Stepping Stones is a charity based in North Wales that offers free individual counselling, support, psychoeducational courses and resources as well as group work to adult survivors of child sexual abuse. We also support family members, carers and friends.
We are an independent and confidential service with 23 professionally qualified counsellors working across the six counties of North Wales.
We aim to:
- Protect and preserve the good health, both mental and physical, of persons who have been victims of sexual abuse and in particular by the provision of therapeutic intervention and individual and group counselling.
- Advance the education of persons working with those who have been victims of child sexual abuse.
Counselling sessions are not limited to a set number of sessions per client, instead clients receive counselling until they feel comfortable and confident enough to end their sessions. This person-centred approach is vital to the ethos of Stepping Stones. Our counselling and support service is accessible to everyone engaging in our service, we also offer up to eight weeks counselling to family and friends of survivors.
In addition to counselling, we offer client support, psychoeducational courses, and group activities. For example, our Next Steps Group complements counselling and is open to all clients in service, referral is via our counsellors and is currently held monthly in Wrexham and Rhyl. Clients enjoy various activities including sewing, pottery, art, family days out etc. We also offer Maths, English and IT classes in conjunction with Coleg Cambria.
