You Deserve Support, Safety & Understanding
Many people affected by domestic abuse struggle in silence for a long time — often questioning themselves, minimising their experiences or feeling unsure about reaching out for help. Experiencing domestic abuse can leave deep emotional, psychological and physical effects that often continue long after the situation itself has changed. Many people are left feeling anxious, isolated, emotionally drained, confused or unable to trust themselves or others.
Domestic abuse is not always physical. It can include emotional manipulation, coercive control, intimidation, financial control, verbal abuse and ongoing psychological harm — all of which can have a serious impact on confidence, emotional wellbeing and mental health.
You do not need to face everything alone. Therapy can provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood and empowered to begin moving forward. I provide confidential domestic abuse counselling and therapy in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment, helping individuals process what they have experienced, rebuild emotional strength and begin moving forward at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

What to Expect in Therapy
Domestic abuse therapy is centred around emotional safety, trust and support. There is no pressure to talk about anything before you feel ready, and therapy always moves at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
As an experienced psychotherapist and domestic abuse support practitioner, I use an integrated therapeutic approach tailored to the individual and their experiences. Sessions may include elements of psychotherapy, trauma-informed therapy, emotional processing work, psychodynamic therapy and other supportive therapeutic approaches depending on your needs.
Together, we may explore:
✔️ The emotional and psychological impact of abuse
✔️ Trauma responses, anxiety or emotional overwhelm
✔️ Coercive control, manipulation and unhealthy relationship dynamics
✔️ Confidence, boundaries and emotional recovery
✔️ The effects abuse may still be having on daily life and relationships
Therapy provides a confidential, compassionate space where you can begin processing your experiences without fear of judgement or pressure.
