Meet Our Founder

Get to know the heart and soul behind The Womens Option Centre. Our founder's personal journey and unwavering commitment to supporting women who've experienced childhood sexual abuse is the driving force behind our unique approach.

A journey of resilience

Our founder believes that overcoming adversity is possible, even when the path isn't always straightforward. It's important to remember that there will be days when you have to take steps back in order to move forward. This journey is a testament to the strength and resilience within every woman.

The power of forgiveness

The biggest hurdle our founder overcame was unforgiveness. The burden of unforgiveness had such a huge impact physically. Through choosing to forgive, it brought healing and peace. This is a key message we want to share – forgiveness is not just an emotional release, but a pathway to physical and mental well-being.

Lived experience difference

What sets The Womens Option Centre apart is that we are a lived experience organisation. Unlike other organisations primarily composed of counselors and therapists, our approach is rooted in firsthand understanding and empathy. We offer support based on genuine, shared experiences, creating a safe and empowering environment for healing.

"The Womens Option Centre provided me with a sense of hope and understanding that I couldn't find anywhere else. Knowing that the support comes from someone who truly understands makes all the difference."
