We understand the profound impact domestic abuse can have on a woman’s self-esteem, confidence, and ability to manage daily life or plan for the future. Our counselling service offers a safe, supportive space to help you better understand yourself and come to terms with your experiences.

​

Our service is open to women who live or work in the borough. It is free of charge, although we kindly ask for a donation of £5–£20 per session, where possible.

​

What we offer

• An initial programme of 16 counselling sessions, with the possibility of extension if needed

• 50-minute sessions

• A free crèche facility, if required

• Support from a team of trained and qualified volunteer counsellors

​​

Our counsellors work integratively, meaning they draw on a range of counselling approaches and tailor their work to your individual needs. They provide a safe, empathetic, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.

Over 90% of our clients have rated their relationship with their counsellor as very good to excellent.

​

Your first session

Your first session is an opportunity to:

• Share what has brought you to counselling

• Discuss what you would like to work through

• Decide whether the counselling we offer feels right for you

​​

It is also a chance for you to see if you feel comfortable with your counsellor. If you have any concerns, please let us know—feeling safe and supported is essential.

​

Ongoing support

You and your counsellor will agree on a plan of work together. This usually involves 16 sessions, with a review at around 12 weeks. If you both feel that further support would be beneficial, we can discuss extending your sessions.
