SPECIALIST ONLINE SERVICES & SUPPORT
Support is available for you, whenever you feel ready.
Many survivors tell us they weren’t sure where to turn or didn’t realise specialist services were designed for people affected by sexual violence. Feelings of shame, guilt or fear can make it hard to ask for help, but you deserve support, and you’re not alone.
At Northamptonshire Rape Crisis, we offer confidential, trauma‑informed services for anyone aged 14+ affected by rape, sexual assault or sexual abuse, including women and girls, men and boys, LGBTQ+ survivors and young people.
You can access counselling, ISVA advocacy and Group Work, in person. But if you’re not ready for face‑to‑face support, or you want something you can use alongside our services, then there are online options you can turn to.
Online options:
Your Space (online wellbeing hub)

- practical ideas for building steadiness and self‑care

Many survivors use Your Space alongside counselling or ISVA support, while others use it as a gentle first step before reaching out.
