Trauma informed Client Support & Pathway Coordinators

Our Client Support & Pathway Coordinators have experienced domestic abuse and have worked hard to overcome its challenges. They share their stories with honesty and warmth, offering understanding and hope. Their journeys show that recovery is not something you have to do alone. Each step of progress is a shared victory.

 

By connecting with those who have faced similar hardships, they create a warm, safe space where you are truly heard and valued. They nurture a sense of belonging, inviting you to see that your struggles can eventually give way to strength and renewal. Through compassionate guidance and heartfelt support, they inspire you to trust in your own capacity to heal and embrace a brighter future.

Building Resiliance Programme

Hurtful memories can hold you back, limiting your growth and stifling your progress. How can you break free from these restraints and move towards living your dreams? The first step is to recognise the lingering influences of the past and work to either let them go or transform them into a positive force that propels you forward.

 

Our 5 session programme is designed to help you identify these inhibiting memories so that you can take back control. By understanding and reshaping these experiences, you gain the power to use them as building blocks for a brighter future rather than as weights that slow you down.

Building Confidence Programme

People who recognise and use their strengths tend to feel happier, enjoy better self-esteem, and are more likely to achieve their goals. Yet, many find it difficult to pinpoint these talents, often dismissing them as ordinary when they’re truly remarkable.

 

Throughout the 5 sessions we help you discover your unique strengths. Our approach guides you in identifying the special qualities that make you, you. We’ll also help you recognise these strengths in others, so you can build a supportive network that uplifts everyone. With a clearer understanding of your abilities, you’ll be empowered to develop and use your strengths to create positive changes in your life.

Emotional Safety & Support Programmes

 Emotional safety looks different for different people, but planning for your emotional safety is about developing a personalised plan that helps you accept your emotions and decisions when dealing with abuse or during recovery.

​

Creative Journaling -in Gloucester or Stroud

We offer a 6-week group session quarterly. Creative journaling is a form of self-expression that allows you to record your thoughts, feelings, and ideas. This type of journaling can be used to work through problems, to come up with new ideas, or just to relax and reflect on your day.

​

Visual Expression Art - in Stroud

Group sessions . One does not need to be an artist or have any special skills to express oneself through artmaking. You don't have to be good at art. These sessions are not about what you are creating. It’s the process of creating that really matters.

Improving your Emotional Intelligence 

Only available to those referred by our Trauma Informed Mentors 

​

Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to perceive, understand, and manage one’s own emotions and relationships. It involves being aware of emotions in oneself and others and using this awareness to guide thinking and behaviour.

 

Emotionally intelligent individuals can motivate themselves, read social cues, and build strong relationships.

 

This online course lasts 8 months with two - three cohorts a year.
