Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Emotional abuse can be deeply damaging, even when there are no visible signs on the outside. It can involve manipulation, control, criticism, intimidation, gaslighting, humiliation, or repeated experiences of feeling diminished or psychologically trapped. My approach focuses on understanding the impact of these experiences, processing what has happened, and rebuilding a stronger sense of self, clarity, and emotional safety.

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.
