- Men who recognise that their behaviour is causing harm to their partners or children, and who may struggle with their anger. Men who are looking for different ways of communicating and relating..
- We use play therapy and counselling with children and young people from 4 to 18 years of age who have been exposed to and experienced family violence/abuse.
We also offer safe, confidential and professional counselling services to women and men who have experienced any form of abuse in a relationship.
