Domestic Abuse Support & Counselling
Our expert domestic abuse counselling service is specifically designed with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. We recognise that domestic abuse can affect anyone, but the experiences within the LGBTQ+ community may come with additional layers of complexity, including fear of discrimination, isolation, or lack of acceptance. Our service is open to anyone aged 14 and above, who have previously or are currently experiencing domestic abuse.
