Who we work with

People we work with

​The majority of clients who access our services have experienced sexual violence at some point in their lives. Many have experienced domestic and relational abuse.

 

Some people contact us because they are aware that something that happened to them in the past wasn't OK, perhaps the way they were treated by adults or others around them whilst growing up for example. They know that their past in affecting their present and that seek our help to understand this and to begin their recovery journey. 

 

The services we currently offer have been developed through feedback from clients, service users and partner organisations in keeping with our ethos of offering a client-led service. Our lived experience community is co-created and co-produced with people using the service, hence the title "Butterflies Lived Experience Community". Some community members also support others as well as receiving support themselves, this helps their own recovery journey and others. 

 

Our team work with children, young people and adults who have directly experienced sexual, domestic or relational trauma and their loved ones/supporters who are experiencing vicarious or secondary trauma.

 

Professionals and Organisations we work with

We work collaboratively with and take referrals from a variety of organisations and offer funded and self-funded therapy. We work with individual professionals offering Clinical Supervision, placements for Student Counsellors and Internships. We can work closely with organisations to develop a specific, bespoke project to offer therapeutic and or peer support to their clients or service users. We also work collaboratively with partner organisations to apply for joint funding to meet identified need.
