BWC needs to raise vital funds to ensure that our low-cost Women's Counselling and Psychotherapy Service can continue to provide specialist support for self-identifying women who are struggling with suicidal thoughts as a result of the impact of trauma on their lives.

    Situation

    94% of our clients referred to therapy are at high risk of suicide, self-harming behaviours and severe isolation. These might be the most socially excluded women across the county who need 1:1 therapeutic support they do not feel safe enough to access elsewhere. There is a need for heavily subsidised therapeutic support due to the inability of women on low incomes being able to access it, a lack of low cost services in the area and demand exceeding provision locally.

    Solution

    BWC has been supporting women with complex needs for over 45 years and has developed an effective trauma responsive model that supports women meet their underlying, complex and interrelated practical and emotional needs. We offer 12 sessions of individual counselling or psychotherapy. The service is low cost (starting at £5) and operates a sliding scale according to household income to ensure that psychological support is accessible.
