Domestic Violence

Asking your partner for permission to do things and apologising for your behaviour?

Feeling powerless and ‘less than’ your partner?

Stopped seeing friends and family?

Partner often making excuses for their behaviour or blaming others for their actions?

Having your movements monitored and tracked by your partner?

Completely dependent on your partner emotionally, psychologically or financially?

Ashamed of your partner’s behaviour or how they treat you?

Domestic Violence is one of Australia’s greatest shames. It is everywhere. To quote the words of Rosie Batty… "Family Violence happens to anybody, no matter how nice your house is, no matter how intelligent you are”.

At She Counselling we are deeply passionate about this issue and are determined to help women feel;

• Heard
• Validated
• Believed
• Supported
• Reassured

Whether it is you, or someone you love, we are here for you. Our work is underpinned by first-hand understanding of the impact of domestic violence... the fear, the feelings of being trapped, the confusion, the isolation ad the emotional distress are familiar. However, in doing this work, it is also understood that everyone experiences domestic violence differently and that no one knows your situation better than you. Therefore, you remain the expert on your experience.
