Welcome to Women’s Support Motueka

Striving for women and their families
to be safe, well and empowered.

We supported over 400 women in the last year!

We are a specialised family harm and domestic violence service. We also provide support and advocacy for any concern impacting women.

What We Do

Our Services

A warm, inviting counselling room with a grey couch, soft cushions, a blanket, and a glowing salt lamp on a side table, creating a safe and comforting space for support.

Support & Advocacy

You are welcome to drop in, phone or email us for free support, information and advocacy on any issue.

Counselling

We offer a free professional counselling service and run free therapeutic art groups for self-exploration.

Community Engagement

We work with our community to prevent family violence and promote healthy relationships

“Today, I continue learning to love myself day after day, to accept myself, it has been difficult! But I know I can because I have the strength inside me and my own divine self that guides me. I have freed myself and become stronger, found my voice and sparked my own transformation.”

Dominique – former WSM client
