Domestic Abuse or Violence
Liz Frings
Counsellor/Therapist, PG Diploma Person-Centred Psychotherapy. EMDR Accredited
Sexual and domestic violence leave impacts that extend far beyond the immediate physical harm. These experiences can fundamentally alter how you see yourself, others, and the world around you—and those effects are valid regardless of how long ago the violence occurred or what form it took.
Emotional and Psychological Effects
You might experience intense emotions like fear, shame, guilt, or anger—sometimes all at once. Many survivors struggle with anxiety, depression, or feeling emotionally numb. You may find yourself hypervigilant, constantly scanning for danger, or experiencing flashbacks and intrusive memories that make it feel like the trauma is happening again. Sleep disturbances, nightmares, and difficulty concentrating are common. Some survivors describe feeling disconnected from their bodies or experiencing moments where they don’t feel fully present.
Impact on Identity and Relationships
Violence, especially from someone you trusted, can shake your sense of who you are and your ability to trust your own judgment. You might struggle with self-blame, even though the violence was never your fault. Intimacy—both physical and emotional—can become complicated or frightening. You may find yourself withdrawing from relationships, or alternately, seeking connection in ways that don’t feel healthy. Setting boundaries might feel impossible, or you might build walls so high that no one can reach you.
Physical Effects
Trauma lives in the body. You might experience chronic pain, headaches, digestive issues, or other physical symptoms that doctors struggle to explain. Your body’s stress response system may be on constant alert, leading to exhaustion, tension, or feeling unsafe in your own skin.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Vicky Mould
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
Are you feeling impacted by the effects of domestic abuse, such as the abuse you experienced or witnessed by a family member or ex-partner? Surviving any form of domestic abuse (coercive control, psychological, emotional, physical and sexual abuse) can shatter trust and self-esteem. Troubling memories, feelings, and emotions can surface and persist despite any joy or relief associated with fleeing or detaching from the relationship. I can offer an environment where you can feel safe, supported and empowered and find your sense of healing. By working together at your pace, you can gently process what has happened to you and move forward with increased confidence, trust and self-esteem. If you'd like to explore counselling together, please get in touch with me to arrange a low-cost consultation.
