I survived domestic violence and abuse, and so can you...

When I was 17 I chose to fight back to protect my family from our abuser. Fighting back also means breaking the cycle of violence that, so often, continues down the generations. It has driven me to try and understand it’s causes, it’s effects and how to deal with it.

Domestic abuse comes in all shapes and sizes whether a single incident or a pattern of incidents. It is controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behaviour, including sexual violence, in the majority of cases by a partner or ex-partner, but also by a family member or carer. It is sadly very common. At Counter Force System our goal is to support and empower people who have suffered or are suffering abuse and teach them the skills to become a survivor and break the cycle.

My journey of understanding has made me passionate and unshakable in my belief that everyone should be empowered with the knowledge (soft skills) and physical ability of how to defend themselves and their loved ones. Through CF-System our vision is to train survivors of domestic violence and abuse, no matter the age, gender or sexuality and to empower them and help them grow in confidence and as people.

Counter Force System is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) and is place of safety and support.
