Trauma-Informed Healing

Relationship Abuse, Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault 

Relationships can be loving and complex. They can also feel confusing, controlling, or unsafe. Sometimes there are visible signs of harm. Sometimes it is subtle. If you are questioning what is happening in your relationship, that is reason enough to seek support.

This is a confidential space to explore relationship dynamics and patterns, without pressure to make any decisions.

Recognizing the Signs

You might be here if…

You may be carrying the impact of domestic or family violence, coercive control, elder abuse, sexual assault, or childhood sexual abuse. These experiences often involve complex patterns of manipulation, grooming, and power that can leave you questioning yourself long after the harm has occurred. Post-separation abuse can continue to affect your sense of safety and stability.

This is a place where those experiences can be spoken about carefully and without judgement. I bring extensive experience in recognising the dynamics of control and their psychological impact. Together, we focus first on safety and stabilisation, then on making sense of what has happened, supporting integration at a pace that feels manageable, using trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches including parts work.

Questioning What Is Happening in Your Relationship

You feel confused about whether what you are experiencing “counts” as abuse. There might be no physical violence, yet patterns of control, criticism, monitoring, or intimidation leave you feeling anxious, diminished, or unsure of yourself. This is a space to explore those dynamics without pressure to make immediate decisions.

Navigating Coercive Control or Emotional Abuse

You recognise patterns of coercion, manipulation, financial control, isolation, or ongoing psychological harm. You may need support to understand these dynamics, strengthen boundaries, and develop practical strategies to manage safety while remaining in the relationship or considering your options whilst considering safety.

Experiencing Post-Separation Abuse or Court Involvement

You have left the relationship and are navigating post separation abuse, family law proceedings, child contact arrangements, or ongoing intimidation. I provide careful risk assessment, safety planning, and support in thinking clearly through complex systems such as courts, police, and child protection.

Processing Sexual Assault or Childhood Sexual Abuse

You are living with the impacts of sexual violence, whether recent or historical. Therapy offers a trauma-informed and carefully paced space to stabilise, reduce distress, and gently process what has happened, prioritising your safety and readiness at every stage.

Understanding the Method

Honoring your recovery

Healing after domestic violence or sexual assault is not linear. Therapy offers a trauma-informed, culturally respectful space to stabilise, process safely, and move at a pace that prioritises your safety, readiness, and autonomy.

The Transformation

How therapy supports change

Through evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, therapy can reduce distress, strengthen emotional regulation, rebuild confidence, and support practical safety and recovery planning.

  • Supporting regulation of hypervigilance, shutdown, anxiety, and trauma responses. Using evidence-based and somatically informed approaches, therapy helps reduce distress and restore steadiness over time.


  • Support through family law, child protection, police, court processes, and post-separation abuse. This includes documentation, advocacy-informed practice, and structured thinking during high-stress decisions.

  • Exploring patterns of manipulation, financial control, isolation, intimidation, and psychological harm. Therapy supports clarity, boundary strengthening, and rebuilding trust in your own decision making.

  • Careful assessment of current and past risk, including coercive control, escalation patterns, and post-separation risk. We develop practical, personalised safety strategies that prioritise your wellbeing and autonomy.
