Since its inception Woman’s Trust has developed expertise in delivering services which meet the real needs of women and children affected by domestic violence. This has been done through the Woman’s Trust unique approach, combining Person Centred therapeutic support with client led services development. Woman’s Trust adopted this approach as being the most likely to enable positive outcomes and the empowerment of women who are affected by domestic violence.

Our monitoring has indeed shown this approach to be extremely successful, we currently provide services to over 300 women per year, per site. Woman’s Trust is staffed by a team of domestic violence professionals with many years experience, all trained therapists. Woman’s Trust counsellors are also provided with specialist in house training on domestic violence issues and effective counselling methods.

Woman’s Trust is recognised by other domestic violence agencies and projects as a provider of high quality, professional mental health services for women affected by domestic violence and as a provider of training for front-line workers. Woman’s Trust has strong links with the Greater London Domestic Violence Project and other domestic violence and Women’s service providers across London including Woman’s Aid, the Metropolitan Police, Health Care providers and the Domestic Violence crisis line. All these service providers refer to Woman’s Trust.
