We offer individual and group counselling to women (including cis- and trans- women) aged 16 years or older who have been sexually, physically or emotionally abused by their partners, significant others, caregivers or other immediate family/household members.Â
Women experiencing emotional or physical violence in their intimate relationships can experience a range of emotions, including anger, distress, and confusion. Our counsellors can offer emotional support and help you sort out your feelings, learn about your rights, and figure out next steps.
