Domestic Abuse or Violence
Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
I have worked with a number of people who have sought support because of being in an abusive relationship. In my clinical experience, at least, there is often a struggle between the part of the person that knows they are being victimised, and another part that finds it very difficult to leave and imagine different possibilities (being alone; or being in an overall caring and supportive relationship). Domestic abuse also takes place between family members, who are not in an intimate relationship (for example parents towards their children, and they other way around).
Please get in touch, if you think you are or have been in any way part of an abusive or violent family dynamic, and would like to think about this with a mental health professional.

Dr Ian Anderson
Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
I work with many life difficulties. I have never understood how any individual, male or female, can believe that it is acceptable to behave in a physically or emotionally abusive manner towards someone whom they purport to love. The distortion of reality is that abusers often use the term 'love' to justify their abhorrent behaviour. My role as a psychological counsellor is to help anyone in an abusive situation break free from the cycle of abuse and discover a fulfilled future. Such a future may be independence, or it may be in a loving relationship that is truly healthy.

Dr. Bonnie Wims
Psychologist, UK Chartered Counseling Psychologist
My work with domestic violence over the years has always led back to helping people accept that they are in an abusive relationship so that the change can begin to happen. I don't use the word victim but rather you are a survivor. Together we can rebuild your confidence and give you a sense of self that knows you are worth the work.

Vicky Mould
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
Are you feeling impacted by the effects of domestic abuse, such as the abuse you experienced or witnessed by a family member or ex-partner? Surviving any form of domestic abuse (coercive control, psychological, emotional, physical and sexual abuse) can shatter trust and self-esteem. Troubling memories, feelings, and emotions can surface and persist despite any joy or relief associated with fleeing or detaching from the relationship. I can offer an environment where you can feel safe, supported and empowered and find your sense of healing. By working together at your pace, you can gently process what has happened to you and move forward with increased confidence, trust and self-esteem. If you'd like to explore counselling together, please get in touch with me to arrange a low-cost consultation.
