COMING SOON - Is This Normal? Relationship Support for Women

Service Description

Sometimes, relationships can leave you feeling confused, uncomfortable or unsure what’s okay. Maybe your partner checks your phone, controls who you see, puts you down, makes you feel guilty, acts possessive or leaves you walking on eggshells. You might question whether these behaviours are abusive, worry you’re overreacting, or still be making sense of a past relationship. You don’t need to know whether it was abuse to ask for support. Our counselling service offers women a safe, confidential space to explore their relationships & experiences without judgement. Together, you can explore questions like: - Is this normal in a relationship? - Am I being controlled or manipulated? - Are my boundaries being respected? - Why do I feel responsible for my partner’s emotions? - Was what happened in my past relationship okay? You don’t need to be in immediate danger, have all the answers or label your experience as abuse to access support. Whether you’re in a relationship, have recently left one or are reflecting on the past, if something doesn’t feel right, you deserve support. Counselling can help you make sense of your experiences, recognise unhealthy behaviours, explore your boundaries and decide what you want moving forward. You don’t have to wait until things get worse or feel “bad enough” to ask: Is this normal? 📍 Your Counselling Location: 7th Floor, Grosvenor House 14 Bennetts Hill, Birmingham, B2 5RS (Co-located with our sister charity, RSVP) Depending on availability, your session will be held in a counselling room or our comfortable training room. 💜 When you arrive: 🔔 Ring the buzzer to the left of the building entrance. 👋 Let Reception know you're here for a GINA counselling session & give them your counsellor's name. 🛗 Make your way to the 7th floor.
