Talk to someone

Start with a confidential conversation and let someone help you think clearly.

If you want, use our support form to tell us the safest contact method and preferred safe time.

Overview

You do not need to be certain about what is happening before reaching out. Many women start by describing how things feel rather than naming the situation.

How this can help

Talking to an advocate, support worker, counsellor, GP, or trusted person can help you feel less isolated, notice patterns, and understand your choices without pressure.

What to consider

Think about who is safe, whether your messages or calls are monitored, and what time of day gives you the most privacy.

First steps

Save support numbers under neutral names if needed. Use a work break, school run, or other safer window. Ask for contact in a way that will not draw attention.
