Domestic Abuse Counselling in Manningtree
Life can be challenging and difficult to navigate at times. We can find ourselves lost, stuck or overwhelmed by our troubles and unsure of how to make sense of our feelings or find a way forward. Counselling can help as it provides a space within which to explore these issues with the support of a trained professional. It offers opportunity for insight and clarity, alongside personal growth, self-awareness and therapeutic change. When we are truly heard and understood, these difficult feelings can begin to seem more manageable and our worries no longer insurmountable.

I help people who are feeling sad, stressed, or 'like something isn't right'. First by building a understanding of their experience, then working with them towards recovery and beyond- to help them thrive. My work often involves; helping people to overcome the effect of a difficult experience, clarifying what's important to them and helping them attain it, or simply assisting someone to understand themselves better. Throughout my work I use evidence-based therapies to help my clients build personal resilience and live authentically with confidence.

I work with people who feel stuck in the same cycles - whether it’s relationships, work, or their own thoughts and who want to understand why.
My approach is Psychodynamic, which means we don’t just focus on surface symptoms or quick coping strategies. Instead, we look beneath the patterns you repeat, often without realising, and uncover what’s been driving them. Many clients have tried CBT or other short-term therapies before, but come to me when they sense something deeper still needs attention.
Sessions with me are 50 minutes, once a week, in a calm and confidential space where you can bring whatever is on your mind.

If you’re carrying anxiety, old wounds, or a sense that life feels heavier than it should, you don’t have to hold it alone. Many people I work with have spent years being “strong,” pushing through without a space to pause and be honest. In our sessions, you can slow down, breathe, and speak freely. I listen closely to what feels difficult and important. My role is to offer a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely seen. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply ready to stop carrying everything alone, reach out when you feel ready. I’d be glad to meet you where you are.

I am trauma trained and specialise in sexual violence.
It’s not always easy to know how you’re feeling or where to start. Sometimes we are aware of things that have affected us. Other times, things can be harder to recognise. The experiences that shape us can be distinct or more subtle, yet all can affect how we feel, our sense of self, the choices we make, and how we relate to others.

I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist & EMDR Therapist with experience in both NHS and private practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) explores the link between what you do, what you think and how you feel. Unfortunately, life presents us with difficulties and usually we are able to cope well on our own with these situations. There are occasions, when for whatever reason, we need help from someone else, which is usually a friend,colleague or family member. Sometimes, however, you might find you have no one to turn to or talking to a friend or loved one seems too difficult, painful or just too complicated.

Previously I have worked as a trauma counsellor - predominately with young girls and women who have experienced sexual violence, rape and childhood abuse.
Everyone is an individual who experiences life and the issues it throws, in very different ways. No 'one' sure way fits all - that is my Moto. We are individuals. Whatever anyone is feeling they shouldn't believe that they can "just cope" because everyone else seems to be doing ok. Its all relative! Depression/anxiety/stress/ lack of self worth and esteem are all problems in todays society and many suffer in silence. You don't need to. Often by talking and getting your problems out in the open is the first step to healing. Their voice to be heard and feelings to be listened to. Trust and the therapeutic relationship are key.

I work with the client to provide a safe, comfortable environment for them to explore what is going on for them and how they can make the changes to live a happy, fulfilling life.

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.
