A specialist counselling agency offering support to survivors of sexual abuse and violence.

Kinergy is a specialist counselling agency that has been offering support for survivors of sexual abuse and sexual violence since 1996. We provide trauma informed counselling and group therapy to those age 18+ living in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and Bath and North East Somerset. We aim to lessen the trauma and long-term experience of sexual abuse or violence, through listening, believing, supporting and empowering those who come to us, helping them to recover safely and build resilience for the future.

Why the community needs us
Client quote: " Coming to Kinergy has been empowering, I was able to really make the sessions my own, my counsellor gave me the space I needed to explore my mind, emotions, relationships and history. She was able to contribute to me, in a very gentle way, that worked really well for me. I felt respected, believed, and guided into finding a place of self worth, where before I had experienced a loss of it. I feel a lot more grown up, safer, in my adult world."

Our impact on the community
Most of our clients feel that their primary need is emotional support in the form of a listening ear, as the damaging psychological effects of their sexual trauma are corroding their mental and physical wellbeing. Kinergy recognises that the trauma of abuse affects people emotionally, cognitively, physically, socially and spiritually. The impact of sexual trauma can be overwhelming, affecting every area of their life and often leading to additional issues like fractured relationships, isolation, self-harm, loss of earning, and alcohol and substance misuse, on top of the crippling impact on their mental wellbeing which often includes a lack of self-worth, dissociation, depression and anxiety, and PTSD. One significant way to address this is for people to be able to speak about the impact of their experience on them, their lives, and their relationships, with experienced and specialised professionals. Our service fulfils this essential purpose in the recovery of survivors of sexual abuse and violence, helping them to develop coping mechanisms, understand their experience and improve their mental, physical and social wellbeing.
