In helping clients understand and overcome their experiences of abuse, I work with individuals on a one-to-one basis to help them explore and process their experiences, demystify the jargon surrounding abuse, and comprehend this within the context of their personal experiences of abuse.
I have found this way of working to be incredibly empowering for clients and one which allows them to not just get out of existing abusive relationships, but to also have the knowledge, tools and adapted behaviours which allow them to move on with their life and form healthy and positive relationships going forward.

Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional and psychological abuse carried out by someone with narcissistic traits or Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). This kind of abuse often includes:
• Gaslighting (making you doubt your reality)
• Love bombing, devaluation and discard (the confusing abuse process a narcissist uses to initially make you feel incredibly special, then slowly chip away at your self-esteem before ultimately discarding you)
• Emotional manipulation and control
• Silent treatment and blame-shifting
• Isolation from support systems
Over time, this abuse can leave incredibly deep and lasting wounds, which can manifest in a whole host of ways; anxiety, low self-worth, depression, dissociation (a protective way the mind blocks the abuse, sometimes to the point where there is no recall), chronic and autoimmune health conditions, PTSD and complex trauma (a result of repeated and prolonged abuse).

How Coast Counselling can help you recover
Seeking the right kind of support is a crucial step in your recovery. Tailored to your unique situation, our Narcissistic & Emotional Abuse Recovery Programme provides a combination of proven Psychodynamic Counselling and Coaching techniques to individuals who have experienced:
• Emotional Domestic Abuse
• Narcissistic Domestic Abuse
• Financial Abuse
• Coercive Control
You may be experiencing this within any relationship, including your partner, spouse, sibling, parent, friend or colleague.
Using a combination of Integrative Psychodynamic Therapy and coaching, the programme will be tailored to your unique circumstances and needs.
You will be provided with the support and guidance to help you:
• Identify instances and patterns of control and/or abuse
• Understand buzz words, such as gaslighting and projection, within the context of your own relational experiences
• Understand trauma bonding and co-dependency
• Break the cycle of abuse
• Process grief, anger and confusion in a safe and confidential environment
• Understand and adapt your attachment style
• Establish a healthy sense of self (who you are and who you can be autonomously, outside of an abusive relationship), which often becomes shattered in abusive relationships
• Increase your confidence and resilience
• Understand the need for boundaries and learn how to apply them
• Signposting towards the right legal representation, if necessary
• Identify red flag behaviours in others, before you have committed to them emotionally
To expand on that last point, if you have found yourself in one controlling or abusive relationship, without understanding your own behaviours and adapting these patterns, the chances are this won’t be the last dysfunctional relationship you will find yourself in.
The process of healing from narcissistic and emotional abuse allows you to reclaim who you were before you entered into that abusive relationship and evolve into someone with awareness, strength and resilience,
ready to embrace the future.

“Imagine getting bitten by a snake and instead of helping yourself recover from the poison, you chase the snake and try to find out why.
You try to prove to the snake that you didn’t deserve to get bitten.
We often dwell on the source of our pain, seeking validation or answers from those who hurt us, rather than focusing on healing ourselves.
The poison continues to spread, causing more harm. True healing begins when we stop seeking explanations from the outside and turn our attention inward to recover and grow.”
