Domestic Abuse
Lisa Hawkins-Jack
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Most people living with domestic violence or home family violence may not even realize they have it. When you’ve been living with something for a very long time it becomes almost normal. It’s important for you to be able to work with someone and pick through the pieces of your life that you want to cherish and keep while at the same time living a life full of peace and contentment.

Domestic Abuse
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
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.
