Domestic Abuse
Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Experiences of domestic abuse or violence can leave deep emotional and psychological effects, including fear, shame, confusion, self-doubt, hypervigilance, and difficulty trusting yourself or others. Abuse often distorts your sense of reality, safety, and self-worth. My approach is gentle, validating, and trauma-informed. I aim to help you make sense of what you have lived through, reconnect with yourself, and regain a greater sense of stability, agency, and trust in your own perceptions.

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
Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I work with my clients to create safety within our sessions, building trust and transparency, collaboration and mutuality, encouraging autonomy, empowerment and choice. With an awareness that survivors of past abuse often feel isolated and misunderstood, I work in a way which validates your experiences and emotions, normalising your reactions to trauma. Various techniques can be helpful to enable clients to stay present and manage distressing memories or flashbacks. Techniques such as breathwork, mindfulness and sensory awareness can be useful tools in managing trauma symptoms. Some CBT may be used to challenge distorted beliefs and develop a more balanced perspective. Supportive psychotherapy focuses on strengthening your resilience and coping skills. Also using somatic experiences to help you become more aware of and release tension stored in the body. This approach can alleviate symptoms and promote overall well-being.
