Abuse Counselling NZ

Are you suffering from abuse (or have you suffered from abuse) and would you like to get some help how to deal with this? Therapy and counselling can help.

 

Family violence is when a family member is abusive towards others. 

 

There are several kinds of abuse, including:

 

  • Physical abuse – assaulting an adult or child. Includes hitting, punching, kicking, using a weapon, slapping and pulling hair.

 

  • Psychological or emotional abuse – includes verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, damage to property, allowing children to see or hear domestic violence, and controlling someone’s contact with friends.

 

  • Sexual abuse – includes forced sexual contact without a person’s permission, sexual harassment and inappropriate touching.
