Emotional Abuse
Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
Emotional abuse has many faces and forms, and these can be especially subtle. Having experienced abuse in various ways myself has motivated me to understand and learn how to self-regulate and transform the obstruction and the freeze. This makes me a useful support to others. I am specialist with narcissistic and psychopathic patterns and the subtleties involved in the constellation of all kinds of relationships, personal or professional.

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.

Emotional Abuse
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can play a valuable role in the treatment of emotional abuse by helping individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapists assist clients in accessing subconscious memories and emotions linked to abuse, allowing them to reframe negative beliefs and regain a sense of self-worth. This approach can reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and foster resilience, making it a supportive complement to traditional therapies for emotional abuse recovery.

Exeter is Devon's cathedral city and county town, home to the University of Exeter—a Russell Group institution with a strong academic reputation—and one of the south-west's most economically vibrant cities, with growing demand for mental health services driven by a rapidly increasing population and a student community with significant wellbeing needs. NHS mental health services are provided through Devon Partnership NHS Trust, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and the broader Exeter population. The city's housing market has become one of the most expensive in the south-west, creating financial stress for young professionals and key workers who want to live in a genuinely desirable city. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, anxiety related to housing and financial pressures, life transitions, and the identity and career challenges of a city that attracts young graduates who stay on after completing their degrees.
