All relationships have conflict at times. Acknowledging that your words or actions have caused harm can be difficult, but help is available. Seeking support is the necessary first step on the journey towards healthier relationships.
Pathways to Change is available to anyone seeking support, whether you are concerned about how you handle conflict in your relationship or whether you feel you have hit a crisis point. Our practitioners will work with you to find the right support pathway for your needs and circumstances.
Pathways to Change is designed to help individuals understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy actions associated with harmful behaviour. Participants will learn tools and strategies for more positive behaviours in their intimate and non-intimate relationships and make steps towards a better future.
This service offers an intervention for parents who want to strengthen their relationships with their children, model healthy behaviours, and co-parent more effectively. It equips parents with the tools and strategies needed to build emotional connections, set positive examples, and create a supportive child/parent environment.
Pathways to Change covers Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton, and is an inclusive service available to all genders.
Biggest change is my complete change in my behaviour. It does help a lot talking to other people that have the same problems as yourself. They don’t judge you at all, they are here to help and listen. It was a big step ahead and has changed my thought processes.
Pathways to Change offers a range of tailored interventions for individuals who may be concerned about how they handle conflict in their relationships, or who have used harmful behaviours in past or current relationships (intimate and non-intimate) and are seeking to make positive changes. These interventions support participants in developing healthier relationship patterns and building a safer, more respectful future.
As part of this integrated service, we offer support to the partners/ex-partners or family members of individuals engaging in Pathways to Change. We recognise the importance of addressing the needs of those who have experienced harm and ensure they are supported throughout the process.
Our service is inclusive and works with people of all genders.
Pathways to Change is available in Southampton, Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight, and across all Hampshire boroughs and districts.
Both self-referrals and agency referrals are accepted and must be made through our online referral forms. If you require help with the referral, please email [email protected] or call 023 8000 9898.

Participants meet with our welcoming, knowledgeable practitioners who take time to understand their individual circumstances and backgrounds. This collaborative approach helps determine the most suitable intervention to support their needs. Depending on the recommended pathway, the service is delivered in a variety of accessible and appropriate community settings.
Alongside the main interventions, specialist practitioners work with partners/ex-partners or family members of those referred to Pathways to Change. Engagement is optional and includes the opportunity to understand our interventions, access emotional support, wellbeing advice, and be signposted to appropriate community resources.
Some people who have completed working with us and found it valuable now volunteer to support current participants. If participants want to speak to someone who has been through our service, our Pathways to Change mentors are available to answer any questions.
Practitioners can also guide participants toward additional support if needed, including referrals to counselling, substance misuse services, housing assistance, and other specialist resources tailored to their circumstances.
