Advocacy and guidance

We’re affected in so many different ways when we have been in an abusive relationship. That is why VOICES provides individual recovery support tailored to your needs.

We can provide information & guidance to help you make choices and regain some control over your situation, and advocacy to help your voice be heard by other services.

Advocacy and guidance

We’re affected in so many different ways when we have been in an abusive relationship. That is why VOICES provides individual recovery support tailored to your needs.

We can provide information & guidance to help you make choices and regain some control over your situation, and advocacy to help your voice be heard by other services.

Individual recovery support

What does it cover?

We offer emotional support and also help with more practical matters such as housing, education, debt, finance, benefits and legal issues. If we need additional expertise, or know another service that can help you, where possible we will collaborate with others or help you gain access to other help. Within VOICES’ own service, we have our own therapists, groups, a free legal clinic and individual 1-2-1 support. 

How do we work with you?

Our clients tell us that knowing what to expect and being provided with information and choice helps to build trust and feel safe. We’ll talk things through with you and help you get any information and help that’s needed (emotional or practical). We’ll support you in deciding what is the best way forward and who are the best people to help with this.   We’ll help get your voice heard and do our best to make sure you are listened to.

What our clients say

Voices have shown me that I'm not alone, but more than that, I have people around me who truly understand my experiences and are able to listen without judgement, question or disbelief. Every time I speak within any session connected to Voices, I know I am heard and actually listened to. This is so powerful after years of being silent and having no voice or opinion.

Bella

Voices have helped me to have the strength to keep going, through the hardest and most unsurvivable of times. My whole family are grateful to Voices: you are a battalion of angels, who work truly and tirelessly, to make safe lives happen.

Kate

It’s given me the hope that I can heal and move on. I don’t have to be a victim and let what has happened dominate my life. It’s giving me a safe place to be vulnerable and heal where there is no judgement but compassion and support. I don’t feel like I’m crazy anymore as voices get it they understand just what the abuse does to people and I no longer feel so alone.

Emma

Voices have changed my life completely. I have gone from being a victim feeling frightened of the world and nervous of everything to a strong and powerful woman with much more knowledge. My journey hasn’t finished and I still have obstacles to overcome but voices have changed my life in so many ways that I will forever be thankful for everything.
