Domestic Abuse Counselling in High Wycombe
I've had personal experience of domestic and spiritual abuse and know how much it helped me to have counselling.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed and just don't know where to turn? Maybe you don't like yourself very much or feel that you don't have anything to offer. Would you like to be able to feel better about your decisions rather than always questioning yourself? Being able to talk to someone about how you're feeling can be a relief and can start to unlock what's going on inside to bring about change.

My particular area of expertise is in trauma and working with adults who have had childhood histories of abuse/neglect.
Hello and a warm welcome! I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 27 years experience working both in the NHS and in private practice. I have worked with both adolescents who struggle to talk, to adults with a wide range of mental health problems, and couples with relationship difficulties. I am trained in several therapies with a specialism in Complex Trauma. It can feel very daunting trying to find the right therapist for your needs and I therefore offer you a free 30 minute Zoom meeting or phonecall to meet with me to put you at ease and to see if I am the right person who can help.

At times, our experiences and emotions can feel overwhelming. This can impact us physically, emotionally as well as psychologically. Over time, this can have consequences for our day to day lives, relationships and work. Psychodynamic psychotherapy can provide an important, safe, confidential space to gain insight of our ourselves, our experiences and our difficulties. This can involve receiving help to identify, and work through, the underlying events, relationships, beliefs and fears which may be causing destructive patterns as well as feelings of being stuck, frustrated, lost and empty.

I have worked with people through a broad range of difficulties including generalised anxiety disorder, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, all types of abuse, family issues, personality disorders and bereavement.
If you are reading this there is a chance that you (or someone you know) may be experiencing some emotional difficulties. In my personal experience, counselling and psychotherapy can help with a wide range of problems related to life and living. Many of us don't know why we feel unhappy, lacking in confidence or generally anxious. Some experience anxiety in relation to situations where other people seem to cope without a problem. Sitting down with a trained therapist can help alleviate distress as well as uncover the self-defeating patterns we may have stumbled into as a consequence of life's events.

People have counselling for many different reasons. Some will have a particular issue they wish to work through in the short term, some may have been affected by a life-changing event or loss that may need a little longer to come to terms with, others may just feel unhappy, low, sad or angry but unsure why. Whatever it is that is affecting you or leaving you feeling that life is too tough to cope with, counselling can help. It can enable you to understand your emotions more clearly, recognise deeper issues, highlight what you need to take the necessary steps to make changes and move forward with your life.

We all encounter challenging times and transitions in life: the loss of loved ones, relationship breakdowns, stress at work and health problems. These can often trigger childhood traumas, leading to bad feelings, which might lead us to become disconnected to our self and others. This could then lead to less healthy choices and an inability to hold boundaries. You might want to reconnect with your voice and potency and finds ways of integrating your vulnerability, through a combination of somatic interventions as well as talking therapy which transforms your relationship with yourself and others.

People often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or lost. You might be grieving, or carrying a quiet sadness, anxiety, or sense of numbness. Some clients say they feel stuck, unsure of who they are or what they want. Others are moving through a breakup, burnout, pet loss, or a major life shift. It’s not always easy to name what hurts, only that something feels off, or missing. Often, there’s a longing to feel more grounded, emotionally steady, and alive again. Therapy with me offers a calm, steady space to pause, breathe, reflect, and gently come back to yourself.

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.
