CfL provides specialised therapeutic support to individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, including childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, bullying and other distressing events. Therapy can be a crucial tool in helping survivors process their experiences, regain a sense of control and work towards emotional healing.

Experiencing sexual abuse in childhood can have long-lasting psychological and emotional effects, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and difficulties in relationships. CfL offers a safe, non-judgemental space where survivors can explore their feelings, process trauma and develop coping strategies. Therapists may use approaches such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT), inner child work, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) to help individuals reframe their experiences and move towards healing.

Domestic violence can leave survivors feeling powerless, fearful and trapped, often impacting their self-esteem and emotional well-being. CfL provides counselling that focuses on rebuilding confidence, setting boundaries and recognising unhealthy relationship patterns. Therapy can also assist individuals in dealing with the trauma of physical, emotional or psychological abuse, helping them regain autonomy and establish a sense of safety.

Bullying—whether in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood—can lead to issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and social withdrawal. CfL helps individuals process these experiences and develop resilience. Therapy can provide practical strategies to build assertiveness, overcome self-doubt, and heal from the emotional wounds caused by bullying.
