What is Domestic Abuse?

Domestic abuse is not limited to physical violence. It can also include, but is not restricted to:

  • Coercive control and ‘gaslighting’ (gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation, in which a person may cause another person to doubt themselves, question their own memory, or judgement, resulting in significant changes in the targeted individual, such as low self-esteem).
  • Economic abuse
  • Online abuse
  • Verbal abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Sexual abuse

If you are experiencing violence, harassment or emotional abuse from a partner, ex-partner or other family members, we can help you to apply for a court order to protect you.
