Please note:
We are unable to accept sexual violence referrals until further notice. There is still help available, click here for support services.
Open for referrals!
Our one to one specialist counselling service is open for referrals. Designed to help survivors of domestic abuse deal with and process trauma, this 1-1 short term intervention is ideal for people who recently been subjected to domestic abuse or sexual violence.
To make a referral, please fill out the below form. There is a short waiting list.
Counselling demands a lot of emotional energy from clients; we want clients to make best use of the service and will support them to assess the best time to do this.
We would encourage teams to hold off making a referral for anyone in crisis, with imminent court dates (within 3 months), or without secure housing until the clients situation is settled.
