Counselling

Domestic violence and other forms of violence are a very traumatic experience that can leave us with emotional scars, confused feelings, fears, memories, and damaged self-esteem. Having a space to talk about that experience with a professional counsellor can be healing.

This service is accessible to women being supported at LAWA. We provide psychotherapy support in Portuguese, Spanish and English.

We adopt a culturally sensitive, trauma-focused approach that supports women in recovering their mental and emotional health and general well-being. Ultimately, our counselling aims to empower women to recover their self-confidence and take control of their own lives. Counselling sessions are free and individual. They provide a safe, confidential, non-judgmental environment for you to express and reflect on your problems, the suffering that violence has left in your life and those around you.
