Domestic Abuse Counselling

London Friend has provided specialist domestic abuse counselling for LGBTQ+ people since 2016 as part of the London LGBT Domestic Abuse Partnership (DAP). The DAP is a partnership of LGBTQ+ organisations led by Galop and working with Stonewall Housing.
The funding for this service ends in March 2026 and we are now unable to take any new referrals for specialist domestic abuse counselling.
Information about London Friend’s general counselling service can be found here.
To access further specialist LGBTQ+ support for domestic abuse you can contact the National Helpline for LGBT+ Victims and Survivors of Abuse and Violence operated by Galop on 0800 999 5428 or email help@galop.org.uk
