Domestic Abuse Counselling in Ashford (Surrey)
I work with a range of issues including anxiety, low mood, domestic issues, stress, memory problems, dementia and more complex and enduring problems.
I am trained to work in many different models and draw from a range of approaches. However I have learnt that working purely within one model rarely meets people's needs, so my approach is always flexible, tailored to best fit your needs. I also offer sessions to family and friends supporting those who may struggle to access therapy directly themselves.

The anticipated outcome from our therapeutic relationship would be for you to find healing and wholeness in the work we do together. My training and experience means nothing, unless the real me can reach out to the real you with genuine care, empathy and understanding. I am interested in being part of your journey, to help empower you to fully engage in what life has to offer rather than being trapped within pain, trauma or unhappiness which can be devouring. Through a gentle and trusting therapeutic relationship the true work begins as we engage with your true self. We unravel the root cause of emotional pain, anxieties or struggle

Counselling can be an opportunity to focus on yourself and bring change to your current situation. Therapy is a leap of faith that can result in growth and self-awareness. Times can be difficult, and navigating yourself through this can be the biggest challenge of all, but together, we can bring "You" into focus to work on what may be causing difficulties in your life. I work in a way that allows us to explore the initial issues and find further understanding of what is causing these under the surface.

Alongside private practice I have worked with an agency that specialises in domestic abuse and trauma.
Offering reduced fees. moving my practice online has enbaled me to pass these savings on to my clients.

You could struggle to connect with others and maintain healthy relationships. You may also feel like you can’t keep up with the people around you; as though everyone is doing better than you are. Self-acceptance and self-worth may be a problem, especially if you are suffering from anxiety and depression. Do you want to move forward and build yourself a sustainable future?

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.
