Abuse isn’t always loud.
It doesn’t always leave bruises.
Sometimes it shows up as doubt.
As exhaustion. As silence.
Sometimes you don’t even
know it is abuse.
That’s where we come in.

Abuse Counselling at iDare is a confidential space to make sense of what you’re going through.
It’s a space to talk, reflect, and find your own next step with someone who understands how
abuse really works.
Whether you're confused in a relationship, still hurting after one ends, or trying to support
someone you care about, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Who can this help?
Abuse counselling is for anyone feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck.
You may not have the words yet. You may not be ready to take action. That’s okay.
This isn’t about fixing or forcing anything. It’s about helping you see the patterns, name what’s
happening, and understand how abuse operates - emotionally, psychologically, culturally, and
practically.
Who can this help?
For Individuals in difficult or unsafe relationships
You’re not sure what’s happening, but something feels off. Maybe you’ve tried to leave. Maybe you can’t.
We’re here to listen, help you unpack what’s going on, and figure out what support or safety could look like for you.
For People who want to do better
If you’ve recognised hurtful patterns in your own behaviour, that awareness takes courage. This space is for reflection, not shame. We’ll help you understand what’s happening underneath and how you can start making healthier choices.
For Friends, Siblings, Partners, or Parents supporting someone else
Watching someone you love go through abuse is painful. These sessions are for you too. To help you support without overstepping. To set boundaries while staying present. To care for them, without burning yourself out.
