Cymorth a Chyngor Ymarferol

Those who have experienced abuse and trauma within faith need to be heard, understood and validated.

There is not always the understanding of spiritual abuse and religious trauma within faith organisations.

Nid yw'r byd seciwlar na'r gwasanaethau statudol bob amser yn deall ffydd, nac effaith agweddau ffydd unrhyw gamdriniaeth neu drawma.

Gall y rhai sydd wedi profi camdriniaeth a thrawma o fewn ffydd gael eu gadael yn teimlo'n ynysig, wedi eu camddeall neu weithiau'n cael eu barnu. 

Rydym yn cynnig nifer o wasanaethau cymorth i'r rhai sydd wedi profi camdriniaeth a thrawma o fewn ffydd

Support Services

We offer tailored support services to people who have experienced harm in faith cultures. This includes:

  • Survivors and victims of spiritual abuse
  • People who have experienced harm as a result of being in an unhealthy faith culture, even if they wouldn’t say they experienced direct abuse
  • People who are supporting others who have experienced harm within faith cultures
  • People who are concerned about an unhealthy or abusive faith culture and are deciding what action to take

If this is you and you would like support, please get in touch.

Our support process

Once you contact us, we will be in touch within 5 working days via email.

If we feel that our services are appropriate for your needs, we will offer you up to 6 support sessions, each lasting for one hour. We will decide together how you would like to use this time. We can help you with things like:

  • listening to your story and helping you make sense of your experiences. For some people this will be unhelpful, as talking about your experiences can make certain mental health problems worse, for example PTSD. There is never pressure to share your experiences, but if you would find it helpful, we are here to listen.
  • processing whether what you experienced or are witnessing is spiritual abuse
  • understanding your options for reporting any concerns
  • focus on what you need in the present and supporting you to make a plan for moving forwards
  • providing advocacy and support as you seek help from statutory services or other agencies, for example health care, social services, housing etc.

Support calls are offered over the phone or via Zoom.

During busy periods we operate a waiting list, so there might be a wait before we can book in your first session.

If you would like to contact us anonymously

We understand that sometimes you might feel more comfortable contacting us anonymously. We do not have a support line so there is not a number that you can call. Instead, we recommend that you create a new email address which you don’t use anywhere else. You can do this using Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo mail, or any other email provider.

Your new email address does not need to include your name or any other identifiable information. You can use this email address to contact us.

We can arrange your support sessions over email, and then at the time of our call you can ring our volunteer with your number blocked, by typing *67 before the phone number. This way we won’t have your phone number.

We never share your personal information with anyone outside of our organisation, unless we are concerned for the safety of a vulnerable child or adult. If this is the case, we will speak to you first before we contact the relevant services. We will never give your details to any faith or spiritual organisation unless you ask us to. You can read more about this in our Safeguarding policy.

Cost of support

Our support is free to anyone who needs to access it.

If you are an organisation wanting to commission support services or refer people to us, there is an expectation that you will pay for the cost of this support. We will discuss this with you when you get in touch.

Our support services cost us £60 per session to run. If you would like to donate to cover all or part of a cost of a session, you are welcome to do so.

If someone accessing support decides to make a donation towards the cost of that support, they are welcome to do so. However those who donate will not receive any preferential treatment.

Er mwyn rhoi'r sicrwydd angenrheidiol i'r galwyr, yr holl gymorth sy'n cael ei roi yw:

  • 1

    cyfrinachol

    Mae pob galwad yn gyfrinachol (oni bai fod pryder eich bod chi neu rywun arall mewn perygl o niwed. Ym mha achos byddwn yn trafod unrhyw gamau diogelu y mae angen i ni eu cymryd gyda'n gilydd a chytuno ar ffordd ymlaen.)

  • 2

    annibynnol

    Whilst our support workers may have a faith, they are independent to any denomination or faith community. As an organisation we are completely independent.

  • 3

    Aml Ffydd a dim ffydd

    Mae ein gweithwyr cymorth yn deall pob ffydd a dim ffydd ac yn rhoi cymorth yn unol â dealltwriaeth.

  • 4

    O brofiad byw

    Mae ein holl weithwyr cymorth wedi byw profiad o gam-drin a thrawma o fewn ffydd a galwyr yn gwerthfawrogi'r ffaith ein bod yn ei "gael"

  • 5

    cynhwysol

    Support is given based on need regardless of any protected characteristics, or any theological positions held in relation to any protected characteristics.

  • 6

    Rhydd i oroeswyr

    All of our services are free to survivors. If an organisation wishes to refer people to us for support where there has been harm within that organisation, there is an expectation that the organisation will pay for the cost of that support.

"Dim ond eisiau diolch i ti am wrando ddoe ar y ffôn. Roeddwn i'n teimlo fy mod i'n cael fy nghlywed, yn deall ac yn credu, sydd wedi bod yn iacháu'n fawr i mi..... Roedd yn gymaint o ryddhad clywed y gydnabyddiaeth yn eich llais oedd yn uniaethu â'r hyn yr oeddwn yn ei ddweud, lle rwyf wedi cael fy nghamddeall ac ar adegau yn cael fy meirniadu am fy ngweithredoedd..... Rwy'n gwybod nad yw fy nhaith yn gyflawn eto, ond rwy'n teimlo fy mod yn cael fy nghefnogi gennych chi ac y byddaf yn bendant yn cadw mewn cysylltiad."

Cynhadledd / Hyfforddiant / Gweithdy / Cymorth Prosiect Ymchwil

Where the content and discussion matter of workshops, training, conference, or research projects may cause distress or may trigger previous experiences of abuse and trauma, we can provide support for delegates or participants.


Bydd hyn yn cael ei deilwra i bob sefyllfa sy'n ddibynnol ar nifer yr oriau o gefnogaeth a allai fod eu hangen, a thrafod y pwnc.

Cost y tâl fesul awr fydd £32 gydag isafswm o 7.5 awr (£240)

Bydd y gost felly yn gymharol â nifer yr oriau sydd eu hangen. Cysylltwch â ni i drafod eich anghenion.
