About us

Who we are

Woman’s Trust is a woman only, woman-led charity based in Kensington & Chelsea providing free counselling and support services to women in London who have or are experiencing domestic violence. Woman’s Trust also provides training for workers in the public sector who work with women and children who are affected by domestic violence. The provision of client-led services is central to the ethos of WT. Women who use our services have a central role in deciding and approving developments and changes. WT uses a number of consultation methods both with women who currently use our services and those who are past users including exit questionnaires, self-esteem questionnaires, feed-back from groups and counselling sessions. Women are asked to comment on any changes and developments in our services. This information is discussed within the staff team and at Management Committee meetings so that future developments can be influenced. Staff use a consultative approach with women on all aspects of Woman’s Trust work and services are only developed or changed in conjunction with the women who use them. Being able and committed to delivering services in this way is essential for staff and volunteers working at WT. This method of working ensures that services are appropriate to the real needs of women affected by domestic violence. Many women affected by domestic violence tell us that they experience high levels of self-blame for the violence or abuse, lack of self-esteem and confidence. By providing a person-centred response WT is able to support women to explore their experiences in a positive way and to build on their existing skills and achievements. Women affected by domestic violence do not always get a positive response from individuals and/or agencies they approach for help. Women are often met with disbelief and made to feel that it is somehow their fault. One of the most common myths about domestic violence is that the woman ‘must have done something to deserve or cause it’. Working in a consultative and person-centred way helps to ensure these negative messages are not reinforced. Woman’s Trust
