Clients worldwide.
I often have clients say to me ‘it’s only emotional abuse’ or ‘it’s not bad because it’s not physical’ . ![]()
* Newsflash*
Emotional and psychological abuse is actually often worse than physical. Physical injuries can heal quickly so you can forget about them or they might leave a scar as a reminder of what happened, you know it’s real, it heals, you move on if you’re lucky.
Emotional abuse is like a constant drip feed – it never stops, it’s often so subtle you can’t even recognise when it happens and it distorts your sense of reality leaving you questioning everything about yourself and your relationship.
The emotionally abusive words are never forgotten- words can often be more powerful than anything, because when you hear them so often, you believe them, you believe that’s the truth – they destroy your soul, your self-esteem and your voice over time. ![]()
So, don’t ever say ‘it’s just’ emotional abuse- there’s no ‘just’ about it- it’s inexcusable, it’s abusive and cruel and nothing you do or say justifies it. This is also not love. ![]()
To start finding your voice again and to begin your journey through recovery get in touch for 1:1 sessions with me or join my Insights programme. Recovering from emotional abuse takes time and work but it’s absolutely 💯 possible- I did it, you can do it too! 💗![]()

Recovering from an abusive/controlling relationship takes time and effort but it’s so worth it! Here are 5 tips to help you on your way this week: ![]()
1. Take responsibility for your happiness. Nobody else is coming to save you, your ex(stbx) isn’t going to disappear either (unfortunately) so decide what needs to change and begin taking responsibility towards making things better.![]()
2. Get clarity- if you don’t know how to take action, if you don’t understand what rights you have or how to take the next steps, ask someone who does know- then importantly listen to them and take their advice. ![]()
3. Work out who you need to support you and use them! People generally want to help so don’t be proud, ask! ![]()
4. Work on rebuilding your mental health- you need to work hard at this- falling apart is not an option- you need to focus and get stronger if you’re going to change things for the better. Nobody said leaving an abusive relationship would be easy but if your mind is calm and strong you can cope better and make better decisions. ![]()
5. Keep your goals small and realistic – and don’t think too far ahead, this way you’re more likely to smash them and feel proud of your achievements than feel overwhelmed and give up. ![]()
Day 1 or one day- it’s your choice …![]()

Love hearing feedback like this-when you have a 1:1 with me you get instant help.
I often hear clients say I ‘get it’ and they don’t need to explain at length about how they feel or work hard to help me understand their situation, because I do ‘get it’. I’ve been there myself, I remember what it feels like and importantly I know how to help you.
You might not always want to hear what I say because it feels difficult and scary to take action and start standing up for yourself but remember you are not alone. We are a team. ![]()
If you need help dealing with a controlling partner/ex just get in touch. ![]()

..you need to sell your former marital home and your ex isn’t going to make it easy… ![]()
* Try to get sole conduct of sale- if that’s not possible then make sure you get joint conduct to ensure you can speak to the estate agents and push things along when needed
*Get timelines in your agreement/Order about how the sale progresses- for example the house must be up for sale at x price by (date).
Offers must be accepted in the range of £ to £.
If there are no offers by (date) the price is to be reduced to £ and so on. This way there is a clear timeline and clear steps to ensure progress.
* If your ex breaches the agreement/Order and continues making excuses not to sell you may have to go to court to push things through- they will hold onto that last bit of control where they can.. it’s frustrating, it can be expensive, but remember they can only hold on for so long and then you will be done (yippee!)- free to choose where you live, spend your money however you choose and make your home a place filled with love ❤️ ![]()
