Casework

We believe the best pathway to healing and recovery is though long-term, wraparound and highly practical support to meet clients’ holistic needs. This includes, but is not limited to, safety planning, health, legal, financial, housing and employment support.

Counselling

We provide specialist domestic, family and sexual violence counselling to help on your journey to long-term healing and recovery. Our team of counsellors have an extensive understanding and training in trauma and violence informed care and our Centre seeks to provide a culturally safe place for women of all backgrounds.  We offer a range of counselling options including, but not limited to, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.

Therapeutic group work

Facilitating strong social networks is critical for recovery. As the experience of domestic, family and sexual violence can be very isolating, our therapeutic group work focuses on providing education and support in a safe group setting, led by a qualified practitioner to help women gain knowledge and skills as well as form connections in their healing.

Community-based group work

Our community-led groups will help to generate a sense of community and connection amongst women through peer support groups centred around activities such as cooking, arts, yoga and more.
