The councillors have been so supportive and informative. I wish I realized I could still benefit from their groups long after leaving my abusive relationship. Once gone I thought I was done. Glad I continued now for with a clearer mind I was able to grow faster.

It is difficult to imagine but EVERY time I call a sweet, smiling and reassuring human voice comforts me and guides me thru the next step even if I've missed more than one appointment they are very understanding and accommodating. The staff which I've had the pleasure of dealing with all have given me confirmation that my needs are important and that they truly want to help. The counsellors validate my feelings and without any words are able to make me feel like they truly \have my back\ which has helped foster a trusting intimate relationship which I need at this very challenging time in my life. Thanks for being effortlessly awesome everyone! Shy
An amazing organization that helps women and children and that has maintained its core feminist values.
They are liars. They cost my family 20,000 in legal fees beacue Matea Graham Coward and Tracy Graham lied to hide the fact her husband touches her kids. The police are working with them to get extra income. Pathetic. I will add photos evidence of this nonsense. You tried to hurt the wrong person!! Zero stars!!!
This centre has taken a strong stance against dance. I am a doctor, and a professional athlete, and a pole dancer, and they illegally used an image of a pole dancer who happened to be my significant other and tried to slander the entire industry (and her) as supportive of Human Trafficking and abuse of women. I am greatly offended that they would do this, taking a picture of someone they don't know, and saying that the person and people who dance, are prostitutes who are promoting sex trafficking. How dare you? I have never stepped into a strip club, how could I be a prostitute? I have never done a strip dance, (well, maybe for my partner, but with utter failure). I have never performed in a way to objectify women, but I as well as my partner have been given a label as if we have? Specifically, using HER in your picture and meme to disclaim all sex trafficking? The picture was of a class. A private class. With no men in it. How is that objectifying the male gaze? A child might swing around a bar in the park, is that child suddenly a stripper? Attracting paedophiles? After commenting on their facebook group, this centre had the audacity to delete all comments opposing them, as well as banning any people who spoke out against them. This is all the evidence you should need. Shut these people down. They are just as abusive as the people they claim to protect. You have chosen to attack a large group of people simply exercising, or dancing for their own enjoyment and purposes. You might as well attacked anyone who does bicep curls. Shame on you.
Very helpful place. Women should feel comfortable going there, knowing they will get tailored, compassionate support!
By taking a stance against Take Back the Night due to their decision to feature pole dance, this organization has taken a stance which victim-blames women in sex work. In their statements, they have used an image without permission of an internationally acclaimed pole dancer; and when protests and comments supporting pole dancing as a medium of empowerment have arisen, they have deleted all comments and blocked users on social media. As a woman in the pole dance industry (please note that I am a recreational pole dance, not a stripper, but I stand in solidarity with strippers) I have found pole dancing to be a safe space to explore my own sensuality & develop athleticism. Pole dance as an industry is female dominated by a significant margin, including those consumers who watch pole performances, and the community seeks to build up strong women. Pole is BY women FOR women, and this organization's obnoxious unwillingness to allow us to speak for ourselves is an UNFEMINIST ACT. I support the mission to end abuse against women, but the London Abused Women's Centre has picked the wrong battle. #takebackthepole
