Woman's Trust
Supporting women affected by domestic violence
Woman's Trust is a mental health and support service for women affected by Domestic Violence.
We are here to listen and to support you. We offer one-to-one counselling, weekly support groups and self-development workshops for women.
Counselling sessions offer a time to explore feelings and talk through difficulties in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.
Counsellors are professionally trained in giving specialist support to help women cope when they are feeling depressed, bad about themselves or confused and unsure of how to deal with what is happening in their life. All Woman’s Trust counsellors are women. Woman’s Trust counselling provides time to talk in confidence about what is happening in your life with another woman who is aware of the kind of issues that may be troubling you.
