Suffering from 'Mum Guilt'? Feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Feeling lost? or Struggling to put yourself first? If you are saying yes, you are not alone and I want you to know, I see you mama. No matter how old our kids get, these issues can pop up and really impact our mental health. We can feel anxious, depressed and just plain old worn out; and when we are stuck in these patterns it can be hard to find our way out - but it is possible. I work with mums everyday so they can enjoy motherhood, be more present, feel valued, confident, healthier and more content with what they do everyday and help them sleep well at night.

If you're recovering from narcissistic abuse you're probably here because you're determined to get your life back on track. I understand the feelings and confusion you're likely to be experiencing right now - I've been there too. It can feel completely overwhelming at times, you might wonder if you'll ever be able to trust people again after so many traumatic experiences. Your kindness, sensitivity, compassion and empathy probably feel like a total liability right now. But it's important to know that there's hope - it's possible to return to yourself, regain your unique spark and move forward with a whole new level of confidence.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
