How can I get Help?

Freeva’s counselling team provide an environment of trust and confidence to help you focus on any feelings you may be experiencing.

We understand domestic abuse can have an enormous effect on mental health. The reactions and emotions following abuse can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Our counsellors can provide support for you during and after these difficult times. We’re here for you, with a safe place to explore and work through any experiences of abuse.

Our counselling sessions consist of 6-12 weeks of support, in which we provide an action plan, a positive environment for healing and recovery, and any necessary onward referrals. You’ll complete our counselling sessions with the skills to feel empowered to make independent life choices and any further information you may need going forward.
