Domestic Violence Counselling

Domestic violence counselling

Starick recognises that counselling is an important part of the recovery process both during and after experiencing family and domestic violence.

We also recognise that counselling for children affected by family and domestic violence is equally important and helps break the cycle of violence.

Our counselling service is available to women and children staying in a Starick refuge, although funding limits how much counselling we can offer children and is an ongoing area of need we are trying to address through grants and fundraising. We also offer counselling to women in the community who have experienced family and domestic violence.

Domestic Violence Counselling FAQ

We provide counselling services to women and children.  Counselling provides emotional support, helps rebuild confidence, and empowers women to move forward. 

In addition to refuge-based support, we offer counselling to women in the community who have experienced family and domestic violence. 

Contact our counselling service: 

Phone 9398 5039 or walk into Starick’s outreach services office at Community Lotteries House, 2232 Albany Highway, Gosnells. 

Yes, we do but due to funding limitations, the amount of counselling we can provide for children is restricted; this remains an ongoing need we are working to address through grants and fundraising. 

Lived Experience Stories

The women in these moving but challenging stories are real people. However, their names have been changed to protect their identity.  Some women have shared their stories at our events, and some have gone on to become passionate advocates for family and domestic violence.
