I already spoke of domestic abuse on this site but with Covid-19 it surely has been on the increase the last few months. I am an]ble to help with anger management and to help the victims to deal with trauma and find a way out of the living hell they find themselves in, both male and female.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
Living far from home can make it harder to leave a relationship that has become controlling or unsafe, and harder to name it as what it is, especially when a partner is also your main connection to the country you live in: sometimes your visa, your social life, your only sense of familiarity. I've worked with women navigating exactly that kind of dependency, both in my private practice and earlier in my career supporting families through domestic violence and safeguarding work. If any part of this feels close to where you are, you don't need the words for it yet to reach out.

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 and Violence are not acceptable. Such episode usually need to be reported and investigated and there will need to be some healing for the victims and perpetrators. The victims will need to work through their trauma and the perpetrators will need to lean better ways of dealing with their unbearable emotions and aggression. Addiction issues will need to be addressed through the appropriate organisations that can support the Addict.
