Groups

HOPE is our online support group for women aged 18+ who have experienced some form of domestic abuse or sexual violence at any point in their lives. It is a safe, confidential space for those who feel ready to share their experiences and hear other women’s stories of coping and healing.

HOPE stands for, 'Healing Our Past and Evolving', an acronym created by our group members. 

Learning and healing together

HOPE is a small, friendly, diverse group, that will help you access and explore your feelings and the impact of domestic abuse has had on your life whilst building self-confidence and resilience. The small size of this group will help you to build bonds, share your wisdom and learn from other women who have been through similar experiences. Women often describe the group as a sisterhood.

Led by an experienced facilitator
 

HOPE is facilitated by an experienced group facilitator and British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited counsellor who has over 20 years’ experience of running groups and working with people impacted by domestic abuse.

This group takes place online once a week via Zoom and lasts for 90 minutes. You can attend every week, or drop-in as and when. You decide what level of attendance feels right for you. 

You will need a safe and confidential space in order to access this group.
