It’s a common worry that counselling means someone will decide who’s right or wrong.

In reality, it’s a neutral space where both people can talk openly and feel heard.

You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need a place to start the conversation.

Sometimes, the kindest thing you can do for yourself is pause.

Life moves quickly, and it’s easy to keep going, even when something doesn’t feel quite right.

Taking a moment to reflect, to talk, or to ask for support isn’t a step back, it’s a step forward.

At Kapella, we’re here when you’re ready.

Following recent conversations around Clare’s Law, you may be left with more questions than answers.

Finding out information about a partner’s past can feel overwhelming, confusing, and difficult to process.

At Kapella, we offer support for those affected by domestic abuse, alongside behaviour change programmes designed to help individuals take responsibility and make lasting change.

Our focus is always on safety, understanding, and supporting those impacted throughout the process.

We’ve seen the difference the right support can make:

“In the last two weeks we have had two arguments that before the programme would have led to police call-outs. Now we talk, he actually listens rather than gets defensive, and these have been resolved within minutes.”
– Partner of programme completer

“Everyone is more relaxed. The children have noticed a change in him and how much calmer he is. He was always a good Dad but the programme made him better and more considerate.”
– Partner of programme completer

If you’re unsure what to do next, or just need someone to talk to, support is available.

If you are in immediate danger, please contact 999.

‘Clare’s Law helped me find out the truth’ - Those are the words of a domestic abuse survivor who was subjected to months of abuse by her partner.

Whilst her partner was in custody, the woman made an application to find out information about his previous history of violence and abuse.

The woman then discovered his previous offences of domestic abuse.

She told an officer leading the investigation into her partner that Clare’s Law helped her understand what type of person he was. She said: “He lied to me throughout the relationship and Clare’s Law helped me find out the truth."

Last year, we received 5,585 applications under Clare’s Law and so far, this year we have received over 2,000 requests and around 1,500 disclosures.

Clare’s Law, also known as the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, allows the police to release information about any previous history of violence or abuse a person might have. It means we can provide information that helps protect people at risk and prevent further crimes.

Under Clare's Law you can apply for information about:

- a current or ex-partner that you still have contact with, because you're worried, they may have a history of abuse, and are a risk to you
- a current or ex-partner of a friend or relative that they still have contact with, because you're worried, they might be at risk

Det Insp Stacey Francis, Public Protection Unit, said: “Clare’s Law is a confidential process that can provide vital information to help people make a more informed decision about their relationship.

“We really value hearing from people who have used Clare’s Law and the effect it has on their life and relationship.

“We hope this encourages people who are considering submitting a request for information to do so.

“If you have experienced domestic abuse or you have concerns that a loved one has, please come forward and tell us. You will be listened to, and you will be supported. “

It’s common in relationships to find yourselves arguing over small things… and before you know it, it turns into point scoring.

By that point, you’re not even arguing about what’s really going on underneath.

Often, it’s about feeling unheard, unappreciated, or overwhelmed.

Counselling at Kapella gives you the space to slow things down and talk openly, with the support of a trained, neutral counsellor.

Together, you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, understand each other better, and find healthier ways to communicate.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or just not quite yourselves, we’re here to help you move forward.

Affordable support starts with an assessment from £35

If you’ve been thinking about talking to someone,
you might be wondering what it’s actually like…
or whether it’s even worth it.

At Kapella, you won’t be speaking to a call centre or filling in endless forms.

You’ll be speaking to a real person - someone trained to listen, understand, and support you without judgement.

Our counsellors create a safe, calm space where you can:
• Talk openly about what’s going on
• Feel heard and understood
• Start to make sense of things at your own pace

You don’t need to have the right words.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need to take the first step.

Sometimes it’s not what you’re arguing about… it’s how you’re talking to each other.

The same conversations can start to feel frustrating, repetitive, and exhausting.

But small changes in how you communicate can make a real difference.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

At Kapella, we offer a safe, professional space to talk, understand each other, and move forward together.

Rebuilding trust takes more than just saying “sorry.”
It’s about consistency, openness, and learning to feel safe with each other again.

In counselling, we often support couples to:
• Talk openly without blame or escalation
• Understand what caused the breakdown in trust
• Create space for honest, calm conversations
• Set clear boundaries and expectations moving forward
• Rebuild emotional safety step by step

Healing takes time, but change can start with one conversation.

Support is here when you’re ready.
