Christopher Cannon
Counsellor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
Emotional abuse can leave you doubting your own perceptions, walking on eggshells, or feeling responsible for someone else’s moods long after the relationship ends. Healing involves your body as much as your mind. We work on rebuilding trust in your own signals, noticing when you feel safe or unsafe, and practicing boundaries in a way your nervous system can actually sustain.

Natalie Jane - Narcissistic Abuse & Relationship Recovery Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist
Emotional abuse often leaves no visible marks but can shake your sense of who you are. As a narcissistic abuse specialist, I help clients recognise gaslighting and trauma bonds, quieten the inner critic and reconnect with their own voice and boundaries.

Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Emotional abuse is a pattern of behaviour used by one person to gain and maintain power and control over another. Unlike physical abuse, it leaves no visible scars, but its impact on a person's mental health, self-esteem, and sense of reality can be deeply damaging and long-lasting.
Common Signs of Emotional Abuse
Constant Criticism & Belittling: Insults, name-calling, mocking, or undermining your intelligence, appearance, or abilities, often disguised as "jokes."
Gaslighting: Denying your reality, making you doubt your memory, perception, or sanity (e.g., "That never happened," or "You're imagining things").
Isolation: Trying to cut you off from friends, family, or other support networks so you become entirely dependent on the abuser.
Control & Monitoring: Demanding to know where you are at all times, checking your phone or emails, or controlling your finances and decisions.
Blame & Shifting Responsibility: Making you feel responsible for their moods, actions, or abusive behaviour (e.g., "Look what you made me do").
The Silent Treatment or Withholding: Punishing you by ignoring you, withholding affection, or refusing to communicate until you comply.
Understanding the Impact
Being subjected to emotional abuse over time can cause someone to lose confidence in their own judgment, feel constantly anxious or "walk on eggshells," and internalise the abuser's criticisms.
Remember: Emotional abuse is never your fault, and you do not have to navigate it alone. Support is available.

Mariana Amat
Psychologist
I support clients who have experienced emotional abuse in recognizing patterns such as manipulation, invalidation, or control, and in rebuilding a sense of self. Our work focuses on restoring boundaries, reconnecting with your inner experience, and reducing the internalized self-doubt that often lingers after these dynamics.

Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Emotional abuse can be deeply damaging, even when there are no visible signs on the outside. It can involve manipulation, control, criticism, intimidation, gaslighting, humiliation, or repeated experiences of feeling diminished or psychologically trapped. My approach focuses on understanding the impact of these experiences, processing what has happened, and rebuilding a stronger sense of self, clarity, and emotional safety.
