If you have experienced an abusive relationship and are looking to understand what happened and move forward, I have specialist training in this area. I trained and worked with a specialist clinic in Salford and have also carried out my own academic research into recovery from abusive relationships.

What is abuse?

Abuse can take many forms, and doesn’t just happen in romantic relationships. Any close or family relationship which involves violence, emotional abuse, sexual violence, financial control or manipulation and coercion is abusive and can leave you with trauma.

Do you work with people currently in abusive relationships?

Yes, although sometimes I might feel it is safer for you to go directly to a support service such as Refuge, Women’s Aid, Safe in Salford or your local NHS support.
