Let's talk about
Domestic Abuse & Coercive Control
Domestic abuse and coercive control involve patterns of behaviour that aim to intimidate, isolate, or manipulate another person in a close relationship. Abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, financial, or psychological, often leaving individuals feeling trapped and powerless. Recognising these behaviours is the first step toward seeking help and reclaiming independence.
Key characteristics of domestic abuse and coercive control include:
Physical violence, threats, or intimidation.
Isolation from friends, family, or support networks.
Controlling finances, movements, or communication.
Persistent emotional manipulation or gaslighting.
With the right support, domestic abuse therapy can help individuals recover, rebuild, and regain a sense of safety and autonomy.
WHAT DOES DOMESTIC ABUSE & COERCIVE CONTROL FEEL LIKE?
Domestic abuse can feel like being trapped in a cycle of fear, manipulation, and dependency. Many people describe feeling powerless or isolated, unable to seek help due to fear or shame.
The experience may include:
Feeling constantly monitored or controlled.
Struggling to maintain connections with friends and family.
Experiencing fear or anxiety about a partner’s reactions.
Doubting your own perception of reality due to manipulation.
Recognising these behaviours is the first step toward regaining safety and autonomy.
HOW TO OVERCOME DOMESTIC ABUSE & COERCIVE CONTROL WITH THERAPY
Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to process the impact of abuse and develop strategies to rebuild confidence and independence. Domestic abuse counselling helps individuals recover from trauma and establish healthy boundaries. At HeadHealth, we connect individuals with therapists experienced in supporting survivors.
Through therapy, you can:
Process and heal from the emotional and physical impact of abuse.
Develop strategies to regain control and independence.
Build self-esteem and rebuild trust in others.
