Domestic Abuse or Violence
Dr Ian Anderson
Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
I work with many life difficulties. I have never understood how any individual, male or female, can believe that it is acceptable to behave in a physically or emotionally abusive manner towards someone whom they purport to love. The distortion of reality is that abusers often use the term 'love' to justify their abhorrent behaviour. My role as a psychological counsellor is to help anyone in an abusive situation break free from the cycle of abuse and discover a fulfilled future. Such a future may be independence, or it may be in a loving relationship that is truly healthy.

I have worked with young people & their families who have been involved in or have survived domestic violence situations. My trauma informed practice, person centered & strengths based approach allows me to support people in these situations either whilst they are ongoing or once they have moved away from a perpetrator's circle of influence.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI
It's unlikely any therapist can stop others from being abusive or violent. But I can help you develop effective strategies for re-building your sense of self-worth, which may have plummeted. I can help you defuse potentially threatening situations, for example, suggesting phrases that can't be turned against you; developing inner resilience and strategies to get you away from abusive, violent or toxic situations. I can also help signpost you to specialist support agencies. You may feel alone but you most certainly are not. And if you have extricated yourself and feel guilty, I can also offer help with that.
