Specialist Training in Working with Sexual Violence
Galway Rape Crisis Centre delivers a specialist training in working with sexual violence to qualified and pre-accredited counsellors and psychotherapists. This training aims to deepen the knowledge, understanding and skills for working in this complex area.
The programme is informed by over 35 years of counselling survivors of sexual abuse and violence and draws on a range of theoretical models including trauma theory, body centred psychotherapies, attachment theory, EMDR and mindfulness self-awareness.
