Domestic Abuse or Violence
Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
I have worked with a number of people who have sought support because of being in an abusive relationship. In my clinical experience, at least, there is often a struggle between the part of the person that knows they are being victimised, and another part that finds it very difficult to leave and imagine different possibilities (being alone; or being in an overall caring and supportive relationship). Domestic abuse also takes place between family members, who are not in an intimate relationship (for example parents towards their children, and they other way around).
Please get in touch, if you think you are or have been in any way part of an abusive or violent family dynamic, and would like to think about this with a mental health professional.

Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
In all cases domestic violence and other forms of abuse have traumatic as well as physical effects on both the client and those closest to them. To effectively help, my relational psychotherapy service is always used in a professional and confidential manner. There are a number of possible instances when couples’ therapy might not help those in a relationship with domestic violence. It may not be healthy, or productive to work on a relationship with an abusive partner.
I believe that relational psychotherapy can be helpful in treating the effects of domestic abuse. Domestic violence can have the capacity to leave lasting physical and mental effects. My relational psychotherapeutic support will be able to assist clients work through mental health issues which could be caused by domestic abuse.
Relational psychotherapy for domestic abuse has the capacity to be positively effective when each party of the relationship seeks therapy separately.

Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
If you're going to focus on what's causing you stress, staying focused on the present is the best way to do it.
Based on the latest neuroscience, my approach is usually centred on the high points of an individual's life, and it involves recalling those times when they were at their best. This allows us to recreate the feelings that they experienced.
One of the most effective ways to start working is to focus on the positive instead of the negative feelings that you experienced in the past. For instance, ask yourself if you made the best decisions when you were feeling low.
Although most people aren't broken, they may be struggling with a mismatch between their expectations and their feelings. This could be because their brain doesn't always align with their emotions. It's also possible that external factors have caused them to feel low.
If you're feeling low, it could be because your self-esteem has taken a nose-dive or you're not able to cope with the situation. Our thoughts and emotions often determine our behaviour. It's important to remember that we can only become the best version of ourselves if we can control our emotions and thoughts.
It's possible that your thoughts are preventing you from achieving the best version of yourself. If this is the case, then why not let me help you overcome the issues that are holding you back?
