Have you experienced narcissistic abuse, coercive control or domestic violence? Maybe you are trying to recover from a narcissistic parent or abusive relationship, but are struggling with symptoms like anxiety, constant overthinking, self-analysing, and low self esteem? Or perhaps you are in a toxic relationship, trying to understand what's going on and find the strength to leave. Narcissistic and other forms of abuse can leave you feeling like a shell of your former self. Would you like to find someone who can help you understand and process the trauma you have experienced, to help you heal and become the person you want to be?
I work with a range of issues associated with abusive relationships, such as low self esteem, people-pleasing, codependency, depression, anxiety and trauma. We will work together to find ways to manage and reduce your symptoms, whilst building your self esteem and confidence. I use a range of therapy models to find an approach that is tailored to you.
I understand how important it is to have a therapist who is warm, friendly and non-intimidating; someone you can trust, who listens and provides empathy. This is what I aim to offer my clients, along with a calming and safe environment during therapy sessions. Please get in touch to book a free 15 minute chat. I aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hrs.
