Debbie Debonaire
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, IMTTA, Heartmath Coach
Domestic abuse or violence, addressed through Domestic Violence Counseling, is a specialized area dedicated to helping survivors escape, heal from, and rebuild their lives after experiencing abuse. This therapeutic approach is crucial for individuals who have endured physical, emotional, or psychological harm within intimate relationships. As a trauma-informed therapist, I include interventions like trauma-focused cognitive-behavioural therapy (TF-CBT), safety planning, and support groups to empower survivors, restore their sense of safety and self-worth, and assist them in navigating legal and social services and providing a lifeline to those affected by domestic violence, fostering recovery and resilience. I create a safe environment where women (and men) feel free to discuss how domestic abuse is affecting their lives and guide them on how to find the strength and courage to remove themselves away from such an environment through the use of holistic strategies known to help so that they can build up their emotional resilience to have more confidence to believe that they are worth much more than the situation they find themselves in. This, in turn, will give them the potential knowledge and guidance to feel safe and happy.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
I have worked with a number of people who have sought support because of being in an abusive relationship. In my clinical experience, at least, there is often a struggle between the part of the person that knows they are being victimised, and another part that finds it very difficult to leave and imagine different possibilities (being alone; or being in an overall caring and supportive relationship). Domestic abuse also takes place between family members, who are not in an intimate relationship (for example parents towards their children, and they other way around).
Please get in touch, if you think you are or have been in any way part of an abusive or violent family dynamic, and would like to think about this with a mental health professional.

John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, FRAI
It's unlikely any therapist can stop others from being abusive or violent. But I can help you develop effective strategies for re-building your sense of self-worth, which may have plummeted. I can help you defuse potentially threatening situations, for example, suggesting phrases that can't be turned against you; developing inner resilience and strategies to get you away from abusive, violent or toxic situations. I can also help signpost you to specialist support agencies. You may feel alone but you most certainly are not. And if you have extricated yourself and feel guilty, I can also offer help with that.
