Emotional Abuse
Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I work with emotional abuse in a similar way to other types of abuse, working towards building self esteem and identifying and managing any triggers. Encouraging healthy boundaries, self care and building a safe support network. If this is narcissistic abuse I may provide further psycho education around this as well as directing the client to online resources and supportive, empowering literature. We may use parts work to work with healing any inner conflicts or harmful beliefs about self that have developed as a result of being emotionally abused.

Emotional Abuse
Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
I offer support for those who have experienced emotional abuse, including patterns of manipulation, control, invalidation, neglect, or chronic criticism within past or present relationships. Emotional abuse can often be difficult to identify, yet its impact may be long-lasting, affecting self-esteem, trust, boundaries, and the ability to feel safe in relationships or within oneself.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and relational psychotherapy, which allows us to gently explore both the lived experience of emotional abuse and its deeper psychological impact. Together, we may work to understand how these relational dynamics have been internalised over time, and how they continue to shape emotional responses, beliefs about self-worth, and patterns in relationships.
I also integrate somatic awareness to support reconnection with the body, particularly where experiences of emotional abuse may have led to dissociation, anxiety, or chronic tension. This can help restore a sense of safety, grounding, and self-regulation. Psychoeducation may be used to support understanding of trauma responses and relational dynamics, helping to reduce self-blame and increase clarity. Where appropriate, I may also incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / tapping) to support emotional processing and regulation.
Therapy offers a steady, collaborative space to process these experiences at your own pace, develop a stronger sense of boundaries, and begin to rebuild a more secure and compassionate relationship with yourself and others.

Emotional Abuse
Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
Emotional abuse often happens gradually through manipulation, criticism, gaslighting, intimidation, control, or repeated invalidation. Its effects can linger long after the relationship has changed or ended, leaving you questioning yourself, struggling with anxiety, or feeling disconnected from who you are. Healing begins with understanding what happened, recognizing the survival patterns you developed, and learning to trust yourself again. Together, we'll work to rebuild confidence, strengthen boundaries, improve communication, and help you move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.

Online in Portsmouth, ENG England
Portsmouth is one of the United Kingdom's great naval cities — home to HMNB Portsmouth, the Royal Navy's primary surface fleet base, and the historic dockyard where HMS Victory is berthed — and its therapy community is substantially shaped by the needs of Royal Navy personnel, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, trauma, and the emotional challenges of service life. The city is densely populated and has experienced significant post-industrial economic challenges, with therapists frequently addressing economic stress, housing precarity, and the mental health effects of communities carrying long-term deprivation. Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Southsea and the residential suburbs north of the city center. The University of Portsmouth's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community.
