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 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.

Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Emotional abuse often shapes how individuals see themselves, others, and the world around them. My work focuses on understanding these patterns through a trauma-informed lens and a focus on trauma endurance, recognising the ways people adapt to survive relational harm. Together, we explore these adaptations and support the process of reclaiming identity, boundaries, and self-worth.

Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
Emotional abuse often happens gradually through manipulation, criticism, gaslighting, intimidation, control, or repeated invalidation. Its effects can linger long after the relationship has changed or ended, leaving you questioning yourself, struggling with anxiety, or feeling disconnected from who you are. Healing begins with understanding what happened, recognizing the survival patterns you developed, and learning to trust yourself again. Together, we'll work to rebuild confidence, strengthen boundaries, improve communication, and help you move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.

Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The effects of emotional abuse can continue long after the relationship or circumstances have changed. I work with adults who grew up with critical, controlling, emotionally unpredictable, or emotionally abusive parents and family members, as well as those experiencing emotional abuse in current relationships. Therapy can help you understand the lasting impact of these experiences on self-worth, trust, boundaries, and relationships, and begin changing patterns that no longer serve you.
