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.
