Make a Referral Here

We have had to pause online referrals to our Helpline whilst we help those who have already contacted us. We will open this again as soon as we can. We are still accepting calls to the Helpline - please see details here.

In the meantime, if you need help urgently, please contact the police on 999, or the Brighton and Hove Domestic Abuse Team at Victim Support on 0300 323 9985, or [email protected], who will be able to help you.

Alternatively, you can contact the National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247 who are available 24/7.

Please click here for our Sanctuary Scheme Referral Form for Professionals

Use this form if you want to refer someone you are working with to the Sanctuary Scheme, to enable survivors of domestic abuse to remain in their home, maintain safe and secure housing, and prevent homelessness.

We are currently accepting referrals for our LGBT Adult 1-1 therapy service only.

Due to demand, our Women's 1-1 therapy service is still closed. We will not be able to accept any referrals for this service currently.

If you are a professional wishing to refer a client to our LGBT therapy service, please click here for our Adult therapy professional referral form.

If you wish to self-refer yourself, you can do this through our Helpline, please click here for details on how to do this.

*UPDATED JULY 2026*

Due to demand, we are currently unable to accept referrals to our Children and Young Person’s Service (1:1 therapy, Rising Stars and Mini Stars)

We do this when we have young people waiting for more than 6 months, but we will open it again when we have reduced the current waiting list, so do check back from time to time.

If your child/children are already on the waiting list, they will remain on the list.

If you are a professional in Brighton and Hove looking for support around Domestic Abuse for a client, please contact the Domestic Abuse Team at Victim Support
