All of our Caerphilly Services are open to all genders.

Our mission is to stand with individuals, especially women and children, who have experienced domestic or sexual abuse, harm, or violence. Through the provision of specialist, holistic support, we strive for people to feel safer, gain more control, and have choice over decisions about their future. 

Support is flexible and tailored to individual needs. This can include one-to-one emotional support, personalised support and safety planning to help individuals consider their next steps, and assistance with housing issues or making homes feel safer. We can also provide guidance around finances and money management, as well as helping individuals to access legal advice and navigate family court processes. 

In addition, we offer support and advocacy when working with statutory services such as social services, and can help individuals access group work and activities, including programmes like the Own My Life course. We can also support individuals in accessing welfare benefits, education, training, and employment opportunities, as well as providing referrals and signposting to other services that may be helpful.

The course is an innovative and creative education programme, designed to enable women to regain ownership of their lives after abuse and make sense of what has been done to them, while discovering their strengths and developing the skills to move forward. 

Cyfannol Women’s Aid creates a safe space for women to meet together to complete the course. 

This groupwork programme is delivered weekly in 2-hour sessions which can be done in-person or online.

Counselling is a proven way of improving well-being and self-esteem, developing coping mechanisms and reducing harmful behaviours, providing freedom from the damaging effects of sexual abuse and enabling individuals to move on and regain control of their lives. 

Taking that first step in telling another person about memories or present events that are troubling you can be very difficult. We appreciate how hard it can be, and our counsellors are trained and experienced in helping individuals through this process. 

Our counselling service is available in person however you'd need to attend another hwb while we work on sorting a space out within Caerphilly, or you can have support by phone and online for your convenience.

The service is open to all adults and young people regardless of the environment in which they are being exploited.  

Confidential information, support, advice and advocacy is available on a range of practical and emotional issues that adults and young people identify as needs.

This service is available to adults and children who have experienced any form of sexual violence, sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse, who are not currently engaged with the criminal justice system. Built around listening to individuals and responding to their needs, support is flexible based on individuals’ circumstances; delivered in the way that best suits them. 

The programme is available to individuals of any form of sexual violence, sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse who are in a position to take part in a group. 

The programme supports participants to better understand their experiences, based on the idea that increased knowledge equips them to manage its impact more effectively, and in turn supports their recovery and well-being.

This groupwork programme is delivered weekly in 2-hour sessions which can be done in-person.

Experiencing sexual violence or abuse can be very isolating. Feeling alone or different from others can intensify the trauma and anxiety experienced by those with lived experience of sexual violence or abuse. Knowing that others have had similar experiences, and having the opportunity to talk together, can provide significant support. 

Being part of a group where you feel accepted and understood can be helpful if individuals are waiting for counselling, or if individuals feel that counselling is not for them. It is a way to receive and provide support to others with lived experience of abuse and harm. 

These groups offer useful information on coping with the trauma of sexual violence and abuse, introducing ideas and approaches that others have found helpful.

Our Caerphilly Wellbeing group is run on a Friday morning. You'll need to get in touch for the location due to it being offsite.

The programme explores how women are prevented from leaving abusive relationships and how the thinking patterns developed as a method of managing the risk can make it difficult to move forward. It reinforces strengths, resources, coping skills and resilience to support improved health and wellbeing on a long-term basis.

This groupwork programme is delivered weekly in 2-hour sessions which can be done in-person or online.

Support is underpinned by evidence‑based tools and resources and closely integrated with parenting support and multi‑agency safeguarding and also includes specific safety planning and target hardening providing and support for both children, young people and families.
