Empower: Supporting Men Impacted by Domestic Abuse

At Empower, we understand that domestic abuse affects everyone—and that men, whether as victims or offenders, require dedicated support. Our mission is to provide comprehensive counselling, training, and guidance for those impacted by domestic abuse. We believe that healing and meaningful change begin with understanding, accountability, and tailored support.

Supporting Male Victims

Compassionate Assistance for Men Experiencing Abuse

We offer confidential and compassionate support to men who are suffering from domestic abuse. Whether you are currently experiencing abuse or have been affected by past experiences with a spouse, partner (including same-sex relationships), or husband, our services are here to help. Domestic abuse can take many forms, including:

  • Psychological Abuse: Manipulating or belittling someone to undermine their confidence and self-worth.

  • Coercive Control: Systematically controlling a person’s daily life—isolating them from friends and family, making all decisions, and restricting their freedom.

  • Economic Abuse: Controlling or limiting access to money and financial resources, such as preventing someone from working or sabotaging their job.

  • Physical Abuse: Using violence or physical force (hitting, slapping, pushing) to cause harm.

  • Sexual Abuse: Forcing or coercing someone into unwanted or non-consensual sexual activities.

  • Tech Abuse: Using technology (like smartphones, social media, or tracking apps) to monitor, stalk, or harass someone.

.....and other problematic behaviours

Our team is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where male victims can share their experiences, rebuild their self-esteem, and explore available options for recovery.

Support for Friends, Family, and Communities

Domestic abuse not only affects the individual but also their network. We extend our support to friends, family members, neighbours, work colleagues, and employers who are looking for guidance on how to understand and assist someone experiencing abuse. Together, we can create a community that fosters safety, understanding, and recovery.

Services for Male Offenders

Pathways to Accountability and Change

Empower also works with male offenders who have been involved in domestic abuse. In collaboration with a number of agencies, we provide education, training, and support programmes designed to:

  • Ensure the safety of survivors: by addressing and mitigating harmful behaviours

  • Hold offenders accountable: through a structured process that emphasizes responsibility

  • Promote personal growth: by offering effective, person-centred opportunities for change and self-understanding

Our goal is to help individuals recognise the impact of their actions, develop healthier behaviours, and work towards sustainable, positive change.
