We start with assessment sessions to check suitability. You then attend around six to eight one-to-one sessions before joining the group. The group runs for thirty sessions. We understand it can feel daunting to join the group for the first time — but most clients feed back that they found the group work the most beneficial part, because you receive peer support from people in similar circumstances. 

If you're abusive in your relationship and you recognise a need to change that behaviour, this programme is for you. If you're unsure, call us — we'll help you think it through. 

We always work with the principle that you are 100% responsible for your own abusive behaviour, regardless of how others behave towards you. This is the most helpful and empowering approach because it keeps the focus on what you want to achieve. You'll be supported to find more helpful ways of dealing with difficulty in relationships. 

Our programme and all face to face work including group work and (ex) partner support takes place in our office in Plymouth. We provide our services to the Devon and Cornwall area.

Everything is treated confidentially with the partner support worker, unless there is a concern for the safety of an individual or a safeguarding concern, you will always be informed if there is any concern.

For self-referrals, we use a sliding scale based on your income. Sessions start from £5 for those on benefits or a low income, up to £70 for the highest earning bracket.

If you've been referred through a social services, there is no cost to you.
