Domestic Abuse or Violence
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
Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
If you're going to focus on what's causing you stress, staying focused on the present is the best way to do it.
Based on the latest neuroscience, my approach is usually centred on the high points of an individual's life, and it involves recalling those times when they were at their best. This allows us to recreate the feelings that they experienced.
One of the most effective ways to start working is to focus on the positive instead of the negative feelings that you experienced in the past. For instance, ask yourself if you made the best decisions when you were feeling low.
Although most people aren't broken, they may be struggling with a mismatch between their expectations and their feelings. This could be because their brain doesn't always align with their emotions. It's also possible that external factors have caused them to feel low.
If you're feeling low, it could be because your self-esteem has taken a nose-dive or you're not able to cope with the situation. Our thoughts and emotions often determine our behaviour. It's important to remember that we can only become the best version of ourselves if we can control our emotions and thoughts.
It's possible that your thoughts are preventing you from achieving the best version of yourself. If this is the case, then why not let me help you overcome the issues that are holding you back?
