Looking for support?
Groundwork and stabilisation
Working with our support team is one of the first steps for many of our clients.
Experiencing sexual abuse and sexual violence is a traumatic event that can have a long-lasting impact on so many areas of life.
Before recommending and starting a course of therapy or counselling with Sue Lambert Trust, we support people to make sure they feel grounded and stable in many areas of their life.
Our groundwork and stabilisation team ensure people are in the right place, both emotionally and practically, for therapy to begin.
We’re here to support people with matters such as housing, finances, benefits, health and wellbeing services.
And when people may feel lost, we work with them to to rediscover their self-confidence and help to manage anxiety.
Our Emotional Skills Programme is one area of our work where we provide people with the tools to manage the symptoms of trauma.
Starting therapy is a life-changing step, and it’s important to feel prepared for what’s to come.
