Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
Living far from home can make it harder to leave a relationship that has become controlling or unsafe, and harder to name it as what it is, especially when a partner is also your main connection to the country you live in: sometimes your visa, your social life, your only sense of familiarity. I've worked with women navigating exactly that kind of dependency, both in my private practice and earlier in my career supporting families through domestic violence and safeguarding work. If any part of this feels close to where you are, you don't need the words for it yet to reach out.

Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Reg. Certified Practising 32932
Domestic Abuse is so damaging because it happens usually with someone we love and who we are deeply bonded to. Therefore it can be very difficult to get clarity on what is actually happening, what behaviour is okay and isn't, and what decisions need to be made. I work with you to understand the situations that you might be finding yourself in. I use resources specific to DV and helpful practical strategies so that you can establish physical safety and then, when the crisis period is over, do the emotional and reflective work to process your experiences.

Family violence has a devastating impact on many from their early years. We work with the individuals and families to minimise their risk of violence, addressing issues such as communication and values sharing, along with links to other community supports. We are experienced in assessing domestic abuse situations to work on problem-solving approaches that effect long term change while respecting the needs of all involved.

Whether someone is processing the impact of domestic abuse or working to understand and change abusive patterns of their own, this is careful, structured work. I help clients rebuild a stronger sense of self and safer relational patterns, drawing on trauma-informed practice to understand how early experience shapes adult relationships.
