My Therapeutic Approach
I believe in the power of a personalised, client-centred approach to therapy. I understand that each individual's journey is unique, and I am committed to providing a tailored experience that respects your autonomy and expertise in your own life.
My therapeutic framework includes a Client-Centred Approach: I believe that you are the expert on your own life and experiences.

Understanding Emotional and Physical Abuse and Therapies
What is Emotional and Physical Abuse?
Emotional and physical abuse involves a pattern of harmful or controlling behaviour by one person towards another, often within the context of a relationship or family setting. The abuse can manifest in various forms, such as:
-
Verbal attacks, humiliation, or constant criticism
-
Isolation from friends, family, or other support systems
-
Threats of harm or actual physical violence
-
Manipulation or control over finances, decisions, or personal freedom
The effects of abuse can be long-lasting and deeply impact an individual's mental and emotional well-being, as well as their ability to form healthy relationships and function in daily life.

As a dedicated therapist specialising in emotional and physical abuse therapy, I utilise various therapeutic frameworks to support your recovery journey. Each approach is tailored to your individual needs and preferences, ensuring you receive the most effective and compassionate care possible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Emotional and Physical Abuse
How do I know if I am experiencing emotional and physical abuse?
Recognising emotional and physical abuse can be challenging, as it often occurs in the context of a relationship or family setting. Signs of abuse can include verbal attacks, isolation, threats or acts of physical violence, and manipulation or control over various aspects of your life. If you suspect you may be experiencing abuse, please reach out to me, and we can discuss your concerns and determine the most suitable course of action.
How long does emotional and physical abuse therapy typically last?
The duration of therapy for emotional and physical abuse varies depending on each individual's unique circumstances, progress, and therapeutic goals. While some people may benefit from short-term therapy, others may require more extended support. As your therapist, I will work closely with you to assess your needs and adjust the therapy duration accordingly, ensuring you receive the most appropriate care.
How can you help me with my emotional and physical abuse?
As an experienced therapist specialising in emotional and physical abuse, I am committed to providing compassionate, personalised care to support your healing journey. By utilising a range of evidence-based therapeutic frameworks and tailoring the approach to your specific needs, I aim to help you process your experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and build resilience for lasting recovery.
Can emotional and physical abuse therapy be provided online or over the phone?
Yes, I offer various modes of interaction to accommodate your needs and preferences. In addition to face-to-face sessions, I provide therapy via Zoom/Video call, telephone, and walking therapy. This flexibility allows you to access the support you need in a manner that is most comfortable and convenient for you. The most important part of remote therapy for abuse is that you are able to have the sessions in a safe space. If you feel this is not possible, it is recommended that face to face therapy be used instead.
What if I am not comfortable discussing my experiences with abuse?
Your comfort and safety are of utmost importance to me. As your therapist, I will never pressure you to disclose information that you are not ready to share. The therapeutic process is a collaborative effort, and we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Our goal is to build trust and establish a safe space for you to explore your experiences and emotions when you feel ready.
Can you help family members or friends of someone experiencing emotional and physical abuse?
Absolutely. Supporting a loved one experiencing emotional and physical abuse can be challenging, and it is essential to care for your well-being as well. I can provide guidance and support to help you understand your loved one's experience and develop strategies for providing compassionate care while maintaining your own mental and emotional health.
If you have any further questions or concerns about emotional and physical abuse therapy, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am here to provide warm, professional support to help you navigate your recovery journey with confidence and compassion.
