Private domestic abuse support

Holistic, confidential support for individuals experiencing domestic / sexual violence and abuse in London.

Confidential and discreet services

We know that sometimes it is not safe or suitable to engage with statutory services, but that this should not be a barrier to accessing support to keep you safe. Our approach is led by respecting your wishes, and we can work with you without the need to involve statutory services.

Any cultural barriers and particular preferences around confidentiality will be accommodated for.

Led by your wishes

We believe in your innate capacity to know the right steps for you, as you know the risks better than anyone. Our aim is to ensure that our clients feel they have the power in terms of how they are supported. So often the experience of abuse is one of disempowerment, our support is oppositional to these dynamics: it is person-centred, collaborative and rooted in your power.

So we will ensure you are fully informed on your options and rights, and always respect your decision making.
