Domestic Abuse therapists in Polmont, Scotland Scotland, United Kingdom GB
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.

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.

John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI
It's unlikely any therapist can stop others from being abusive or violent. But I can help you develop effective strategies for re-building your sense of self-worth, which may have plummeted. I can help you defuse potentially threatening situations, for example, suggesting phrases that can't be turned against you; developing inner resilience and strategies to get you away from abusive, violent or toxic situations. I can also help signpost you to specialist support agencies. You may feel alone but you most certainly are not. And if you have extricated yourself and feel guilty, I can also offer help with that.
