Domestic Abuse
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 - usually women, but men can also be victims of abuse. Work with me to restore a sense of safety, strengthen boundaries, trust your own judgment again, and detraumatize from your experiences so that you won't repeat the same patterns in the future.

Domestic Abuse
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
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.
