Victims of Crime Counselling

Individuals aged 16+ | Children aged 0–15 through parent and caregiver support

$0 — Fully funded for approved NSW Victims Support clients

P.I.E.C.E. Practices provides trauma-informed counselling for people impacted by domestic and family violence, sexual assault, coercive control, physical violence, traumatic loss and other eligible crimes.

Eligible individuals may receive up to 22 funded counselling hours through the NSW Victims Support Scheme.

Who Can Access Support?

Young People & Adults (16+)

Individual counselling focused on emotional safety, trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, confidence, boundaries and rebuilding everyday life.

Children (0–15)

Children can have their own Victims Support application and counselling approval, separate from their parent or caregiver.

Counselling is parent and caregiver-focused, supporting children's recovery through emotional regulation, therapeutic parenting, attachment, safety and connection.

A parent, caregiver or legal guardian must be actively involved.

Important: Each eligible person, including children, requires their own application. Parents and caregivers may also qualify for separate counselling support.

What to Expect

Your first appointment focuses on understanding your needs, safety, current supports and counselling goals.

Sessions are tailored to your readiness and may include emotional support, trauma education, regulation strategies, practical coping tools and rebuilding confidence and connection.
