Email Support
How do I email you? If you would like to receive emotional support from us by email, you can contact us at dorothytrc@hotmail.co.uk
We aim to respond within five days and our average response time is currently three days.
Counselling
We provide free one to one counselling with specially trauma-trained therapists, for women who have experienced sexual violence or abuse at any stage of their lives.
Counselling may not be beneficial for everyone. To assist you to make that decision, we arrange an assessment session to see whether we can support you, and for you to see if TRC can meet your needs.
If you are living, in Greater Manchester you can securely fill in this online self-referral form, or download the form and email it to counselling@traffordrapecrisis.com. We will get back to you within 14 working days.
Please make sure in your form or email, you tell us how you’d prefer to be contacted. Please also include a contact number, when you are available to take the call and if it’s safe to leave you a voice mail.
