Service Providers
ISA provides individual, couples and family counselling sessions for survivors of incest and childhood sexual abuse. Counselling sessions are usually of 60 minutes duration and are conducted by professionally trained counsellors.
Counselling is provided for a fee based on a sliding scale related to income. Fees currently range between $44 and $120 (see fee schedule).
Educational and therapeutic groups are also provided from time to time. Groups are currently being planned for the 2011 schedule.
As well as providing services to survivors, ISA also provides services to (non-offending) significant others in a relationship with the survivor (ie. spouses, family members and friends).
Clients can self-refer to ISA for counselling, or be referred by other agencies, GP's, hospitals, schools and other professionals.
