Talk Enables Change…help us support more women recover from trauma

Women we work with do not neatly fit into a single category and therefore there is rarely a service which can offer them the depth and length of support that we can provide. They have compound, complex problems and are often victims of gender-based violence and caught in a cycle that they find hard to break. Help Us support more vulnerable women with talking therapy:

£45 will provide one counselling session
£85 will provide one group counselling session for up to 8 women
£25 per hour will provide 1 hour of childcare to enable a women to attend counselling.

These figures do not reflect the overheads of running the centre
