Paula: ‘The bursary is important for me because I want to be able to help people no matter their income. It’s essential people living in poverty or on a low income can access our service as well.’

Clients who had a bursary said “it has been a lifeline. The sessions were empowering, the counsellor got us to look at how our relationship functions and move towards how we would like it to be.”

Confidentiality. We’ve always taken our clients’ confidentiality seriously – as much now as ever. In the 1940s some suggested it was better to go to prison “rather than divulge any confidence”.

She watched a simulated scene of domestic violence, acted in a parent/child roleplay, and discussed relationships with teenagers.
