You will be believed
If you tell us you are experiencing abuse, we will listen without judgement and without pressure. We will not tell you what to do, and we will not contact anyone on your behalf without discussing it with you, unless there is a risk of serious harm.
What domestic abuse can look like
- Physical, sexual or emotional abuse
- Coercive or controlling behaviour
- Economic abuse — controlling money, work or resources
- Monitoring, isolation or threats
- Abuse by a partner, ex-partner or family member
Safe disclosure
We know that reaching out can itself be dangerous. You can share only what feels safe. We will ask how we can contact you safely, whether it is safe to leave a message, and we will agree a plan if a session needs to end suddenly.
