Counselling for Domestic Violence
Does your partner control or monitor your movements?
Do you feel isolated?
Do you change your behaviour to avoid making your partner angry?
Do you want to be yourself again?
Each person’s experience of domestic violence is unique.
Domestic violence is any form of physical abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse or emotional abuse which takes place within the context of a close relationship.
Domestic violence (sometimes called domestic abuse) is essentially about power and control. Initially the person harming you (the perpetrator) may appear quite charming. Then you may become aware that things do not seem quite right.
You may notice that the perpetrator keeps you from seeing your family or friends. He/ she may be really nice and sweet and then become irrationally upset or angry and sometimes violent.
Counselling for domestic violence can help you to:
• Break the silence to talk about what has happened to you
• Recover from the effects of domestic violence
• Make sense of it all
• Regain your confidence and self esteem
Your safety will be paramount in our work together.
Everything you say remains confidential.
You will not be asked to share anything you don’t feel comfortable with.
You will chose what you want to talk about and we will work together at a pace that suits you.
Appointments
I have a flexible appointment system; appointments are usually offered within seven days.
Appointments start as early as 8.00 a.m. or as late as 8.00 pm.
I offer face to face and telephone counselling, this can be short term or long term.
Experience
I have counselled many people (both men and women) in all types of abusive relationships. I have worked with heterosexual, gay and lesbian clients who have experienced the trauma of domestic violence. And I know from experience that it is possible for you to move on, trust again and enjoy satisfying, fulfilling, abuse free relationships.
Charmaine Pollard is an associate trainer with Victim Support London, and trains staff and volunteers to support victims of domestic violence; she also provides a holistic service for survivors of domestic and sexual violence for Camden Local authority whose aims are to eliminate violence against women.
