Domestic Abuse Counselling in Ewell
At Holt and Heart Counselling, I work with adults who may be facing feelings of anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. I offer a safe space to pause, reflect and be heard—a place to reconnect with your own strength, clarity, and sense of self. Therapy can help you begin to gently turn back toward yourself, to begin trusting your own inner compass again. Not by shutting others out, but by including yourself in the picture with the same care and importance you give to those around you.

My name is David, and I offer outcome-focused therapy for complex challenges such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship difficulties, whether these arise at home or at work. I believe lasting change comes from understanding where difficulties originated and how they continue to shape your life today. Our work may involve exploring past experiences and the emotions linked to them in a compassionate, empathic, and non-judgmental way. This helps uncover how earlier experiences inform how you think, feel, and respond in the present, creating the conditions for meaningful, lasting, and sustainable change over time.

Clients often come to see me with struggles in their relationships, symptoms of anxiety or experiences of depression. Sometimes people know of relationships, specific events, or thinking patterns that are causing them difficulties, other times they just know they are feeling low and are looking for help. Guided by my clients, I set out to establish individual goals for therapy and hope to tailor the sessions as much as possible to the person. Your sessions, will be what you need them to be, whether that is sitting with grief and silence, understanding the nervous system, or getting expressive with crayons.

I specialise in physical, sexual, narcissistic abuse, complex mental disorders (BPD, DID, etc)eating disorders, depression and anxiety.
Hello. I’m Kate and I’m a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist. I truly believe that in order to resolve some life difficulties, we need to dig deep into a root cause of the problem, usually having its origin in early childhood experiences. We need to look at the way we were brought up by our parents and how we were shaped by early relationships with our closed ones. By doing this, we can notice our defence mechanisms and assess the effectiveness of those in the present and check for the behaviour patterns that we repeat over and over again, not fully understanding the reason behind it.

Many people come to therapy not because life has fallen apart, but because they’ve been holding things together for a long time. You may look capable and steady on the outside, yet feel tired, distant, or quietly overwhelmed inside. You might have coped for years, supported others, or kept going through experiences that never fully had space to be processed. Often, the struggle isn’t dramatic or visible — it’s a sense of disconnection, emotional shutdown, or carrying something in the body that hasn’t eased with time. Many people who arrive here are emotionally aware and reflective, yet sense that insight alone hasn’t been enough.

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.
