Any woman, regardless of age or background, can experience abuse and trauma. These experiences do not discriminate, affecting anyone, often in silence and without visible signs. Reports indicate that over half of women will face at least one traumatic event in their lifetime, with 1 in 3 experiencing physical or sexual abuse, many during childhood. These experiences profoundly impact women’s physical and mental health, leading to trauma symptoms, responses and coping strategies.
Saffron provides therapy that alleviates distress and reduces the negative impact of unprocessed trauma. Our person-centred approach enables women to explore and work through powerful and conflicting emotions while feeling valued, heard, and believed, which is crucial to the healing process. We understand that the journey to recovery varies, so we tailor our support to meet each woman’s needs by offering between 6 and 40 sessions, depending on the complexity of her traumatic experiences.
