Therapy for Abuse
Abuse; it’s an emotive word that no doubt raises a unique story in you. You may be reading this because you are, or suspect you have been, experiencing abuse. Maybe you wonder if you are being abusive towards yourself, or someone you care for.
Abuse can affect the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Whether the abuse is current or something from your past, its impact can leave you feeling frightened, confused, ashamed, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself.
You may be experiencing emotional, psychological, physical, sexual, or coercive abuse within a relationship that feels controlling or unsafe. Or you may find yourself reflecting on earlier experiences that you are only now beginning to recognise as abusive or harmful.
Talking about abuse can feel incredibly difficult, and many people struggle alone for a long time before reaching out for support. Here you will find time spent with a therapist can offer you safety and a space to make sense of what has happened, understand the impact it has had on you, rebuild an internal sense of safety and self-worth, and begin moving towards a life that feels safer, kinder, and more connected.
Taking the first step can feel difficult, but support is available. Contact us to arrange a confidential initial consultation.
