Breakthrough Counselling and Support Services provide victims of family and domestic abuse and violence
with the tools, strategies, and skills that they need to manage and take control of their situation, start their healing journey,
and re-build or completely transform their lives and self-worth.
Domestic and Family violence and abuse can effect anyone at any time, causing trauma, stress and long-term suffering for years to come if left undealt with.
Trauma can be experienced after exposure to just one incident of abuse or violence,
and with ongoing subjection, will cause horrific and destructive physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual problems.
Breakthrough Counselling and Support Services provide a personalised trauma-informed, person-centred approach with a mixture of purposeful solution focused, behavioural and cognitive behavioural therapies which are customised and unique to each individual or family’s situation and their experiences.
By providing counselling, support and healing therapies from therapists who have actually survived and overcome
domestic and family abuse and violence themselves, Breakthrough Counselling and Support Services are an incredible advocate for supporting people to completely transform themselves and their lives, and to thrive after abuse to experience beauty for ashes.
