    Our CEO spoke to BBC Radio Foyle today about the death of Mary Ward - the 4th woman killed by a male in NI in the last 6 weeks - and the endemic issue of violence against women & girls (VAWG) in our society. Our thoughts are with Mary's loved ones & with anyone impacted by VAWG.

We'd like to congratulate Charlie's Bar Enniskillen and ICC Belfast | Waterfront Hall | Ulster Hall for their respective win and runner up achievements👏 Thanks to the the organisers for a fantastic night celebrating✨ 📸 Brendan Gallagher Photo

    We're back with a new #FeedbackFriday🦋 It's rewarding to see our clients' confidence improve throughout their counselling journey with us🩵 We work with clients who have experienced sexual abuse, enabling positive change in their lives, like we have with this person✨

    • Counselling has given me a lot more confidence in myself. I've learnt how to get out of my head, cope with flashbacks and the sexual abuse was a big deal, it was not right what happened to me, but now I feel a sense of justice and am able to move forward.
