Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
Experiences of domestic violence or physical or emotional abuse can leave lasting emotional and psychological wounds that can affect future relationships. You may wonder how you ended up in this situation and may feel a mix of fear, confusion, guilt, shame, or self-doubt. Abuse may be ongoing or part of the past, but its impact can persist long after the situation has changed. Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to be heard, believed, and supported without pressure or judgment. I have volunteered at domestic violence centres in the United States and have extensive experience working with this population - usually women, but men can also be victims of abuse. Work with me to restore a sense of safety, strengthen boundaries, trust your own judgment again, and detraumatize from your experiences so that you won't repeat the same patterns in the future.

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.

Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I work with my clients to create safety within our sessions, building trust and transparency, collaboration and mutuality, encouraging autonomy, empowerment and choice. With an awareness that survivors of past abuse often feel isolated and misunderstood, I work in a way which validates your experiences and emotions, normalising your reactions to trauma. Various techniques can be helpful to enable clients to stay present and manage distressing memories or flashbacks. Techniques such as breathwork, mindfulness and sensory awareness can be useful tools in managing trauma symptoms. Some CBT may be used to challenge distorted beliefs and develop a more balanced perspective. Supportive psychotherapy focuses on strengthening your resilience and coping skills. Also using somatic experiences to help you become more aware of and release tension stored in the body. This approach can alleviate symptoms and promote overall well-being.
