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.

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.

Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Domestic abuse or violence is an incredibly painful thing to experience, whether you are still in your situation or have left your situation, I can support you. As your therapist I am here to be with you, reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore what you have experienced without fear of it being "too much". Therapy is a space wherein you can say and do anything, and I am here to be your support throughout this, allowing the pain to have a space to dissipate in. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Experiences of domestic abuse or violence can leave deep emotional and psychological effects, including fear, shame, confusion, self-doubt, hypervigilance, and difficulty trusting yourself or others. Abuse often distorts your sense of reality, safety, and self-worth. My approach is gentle, validating, and trauma-informed. I aim to help you make sense of what you have lived through, reconnect with yourself, and regain a greater sense of stability, agency, and trust in your own perceptions.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I work with my clients to create safety within our sessions, building trust and transparency, collaboration and mutuality, encouraging autonomy, empowerment and choice. With an awareness that survivors of past abuse often feel isolated and misunderstood, I work in a way which validates your experiences and emotions, normalising your reactions to trauma. Various techniques can be helpful to enable clients to stay present and manage distressing memories or flashbacks. Techniques such as breathwork, mindfulness and sensory awareness can be useful tools in managing trauma symptoms. Some CBT may be used to challenge distorted beliefs and develop a more balanced perspective. Supportive psychotherapy focuses on strengthening your resilience and coping skills. Also using somatic experiences to help you become more aware of and release tension stored in the body. This approach can alleviate symptoms and promote overall well-being.

Lisa Hawkins-Jack
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Most people living with domestic violence or home family violence may not even realize they have it. When you’ve been living with something for a very long time it becomes almost normal. It’s important for you to be able to work with someone and pick through the pieces of your life that you want to cherish and keep while at the same time living a life full of peace and contentment.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
In all cases domestic violence and other forms of abuse have traumatic as well as physical effects on both the client and those closest to them. To effectively help, my relational psychotherapy service is always used in a professional and confidential manner. There are a number of possible instances when couples’ therapy might not help those in a relationship with domestic violence. It may not be healthy, or productive to work on a relationship with an abusive partner.
I believe that relational psychotherapy can be helpful in treating the effects of domestic abuse. Domestic violence can have the capacity to leave lasting physical and mental effects. My relational psychotherapeutic support will be able to assist clients work through mental health issues which could be caused by domestic abuse.
Relational psychotherapy for domestic abuse has the capacity to be positively effective when each party of the relationship seeks therapy separately.

Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
In situations where someone is recovering from DV, there may need to be toggling between assessing first things first proactive steps to get out of or mitigate a dangerous situation. From there, the approach may be building practice with polyvagal and other stabilizing nervous system support. Then when there is more spaciousness deeper trauma work may be helpful. We've weaved with clients between these different needs organically, as the process is not always linear. We also support folks seeking ***safe*** peer group support as a helpful adjunct once they and their dependents, if any, are out of immediate danger.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
Experiences of domestic violence or physical or emotional abuse can leave lasting emotional and psychological wounds that can affect future relationships. You may wonder how you ended up in this situation and may feel a mix of fear, confusion, guilt, shame, or self-doubt. Abuse may be ongoing or part of the past, but its impact can persist long after the situation has changed. Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to be heard, believed, and supported without pressure or judgment. I have volunteered at domestic violence centres in the United States and have extensive experience working with this population of people - usually women, but men can also be victims of abuse. Work with me to restore a sense of safety, strengthen boundaries, trust your own judgement again, and detraumatise from your experiences so that you won't repeat the same patterns in the future.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Liz Frings
Counsellor/Therapist, PG Diploma Person-Centred Psychotherapy. EMDR Accredited
Sexual and domestic violence leave impacts that extend far beyond the immediate physical harm. These experiences can fundamentally alter how you see yourself, others, and the world around you—and those effects are valid regardless of how long ago the violence occurred or what form it took.
Emotional and Psychological Effects
You might experience intense emotions like fear, shame, guilt, or anger—sometimes all at once. Many survivors struggle with anxiety, depression, or feeling emotionally numb. You may find yourself hypervigilant, constantly scanning for danger, or experiencing flashbacks and intrusive memories that make it feel like the trauma is happening again. Sleep disturbances, nightmares, and difficulty concentrating are common. Some survivors describe feeling disconnected from their bodies or experiencing moments where they don’t feel fully present.
Impact on Identity and Relationships
Violence, especially from someone you trusted, can shake your sense of who you are and your ability to trust your own judgment. You might struggle with self-blame, even though the violence was never your fault. Intimacy—both physical and emotional—can become complicated or frightening. You may find yourself withdrawing from relationships, or alternately, seeking connection in ways that don’t feel healthy. Setting boundaries might feel impossible, or you might build walls so high that no one can reach you.
Physical Effects
Trauma lives in the body. You might experience chronic pain, headaches, digestive issues, or other physical symptoms that doctors struggle to explain. Your body’s stress response system may be on constant alert, leading to exhaustion, tension, or feeling unsafe in your own skin.
