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
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.

Emotional Abuse
Liz Frings
Counsellor/Therapist, PG Diploma Person-Centred Psychotherapy. EMDR Accredited
Therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to begin healing from emotional abuse. A skilled therapist can help you recognize and name what happened to you, which is often the first crucial step. Many survivors struggle to identify emotional abuse because it's subtle and the abuser may have convinced them they're overreacting.
Through therapy, you can rebuild your sense of self. A therapist helps you reconnect with your own thoughts, feelings, and perceptions, validating your experiences and helping you trust yourself again. This process gradually undoes the damage caused by gaslighting and constant criticism.
Therapy also provides practical tools for recovery. You might learn techniques for managing anxiety and depression, setting healthy boundaries, and recognizing red flags in relationships. Cognitive-behavioral approaches can help you identify and challenge the negative beliefs about yourself that emotional abuse instilled. Trauma-focused therapies can address the deeper wounds and help you process difficult emotions in a safe way.
Perhaps most importantly, therapy offers something that emotional abuse takes away: a relationship built on respect, trust, and genuine care for your wellbeing. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a model for what healthy connection looks like, helping you understand that you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.
Recovery from emotional abuse isn't linear, and it takes time, but with support, it's absolutely possible to reclaim your sense of self, rebuild your confidence, and create a life free from the shadow of abuse.
