The most powerful transformations don’t look like much from the outside. There’s no finish line, no applause, no post that gets a hundred likes. Deep healing happens quietly, in silence — by sitting with your discomfort instead of numbing it, choosing integrity over approval, or walking away from something that almost met your needs.
Empowering Recovery
Many of us have found ourselves stuck in difficult relationship dynamics—whether with family, partner, friend, or at work. Over time, these experiences can chip away at our sense of self. We may start to question who we are, silencing our needs, people-pleasing, or shutting down just to keep the peace. This is especially true if these patterns began in childhood. Left unaddressed, they can lead to feelings of anxiety, low self-worth, chronic stress, or even symptoms of trauma such as PTSD or complex PTSD. Research suggests that a significant number of people will be exposed to narcissistic behaviours at some point in their lives. The impact is real—but so is the possibility of healing. With the right support, it’s possible to reconnect with yourself and gently move forward. Get in touch and book a session today.

Group Workshop
I’m running workshops grounded in psychological research, designed to help you map out a positive path forward—aligned with your needs and values. A wonderful opportunity to engage in something truly meaningful—something your future self will be grateful for.
Recovering from Narcissistic Abuse
Whether it was a partner, a parent, or someone else close to you — being in a relationship where your needs were ignored, your boundaries didn’t matter, or everything somehow became your fault can leave deep emotional scars.
You may not even be sure what to call it. But you know something felt off. You felt small, confused, or like you were constantly trying to be “enough.”
That’s where recovery begins — not with having all the answers, but with a quiet knowing that something needs to change.
Recovery is not linear, but here are some of the common stages people move through — and where I can support you:
Making sense of it all
“Was it really that bad?”
At first, there’s often a fog. You might feel guilty, unsure, or even wonder if you’re being dramatic. Together, we create space to gently explore what happened — without judgment. You don’t need to have the perfect words. You just need to begin.
Finding Language and Clarity
"That wasn't normal. That was abuse"
You start recognizing the signs — gaslighting, guilt-tripping, silent treatment, walking on eggshells.
Naming what you've experienced is a powerful first step toward reclaiming your reality.
Setting boundaries
"I need to protect my energy".
We’ll work together on boundaries — emotional, physical, mental — and how to hold them with less fear and guilt. Whether you’re going low contact, no contact, or learning how to respond differently, you don’t have to do it alone.
Grieving what was
(and what wasn't)
“I wish it had been different”
There may be a deep sadness — not just for the relationship, but for the time you lost, or the love you never truly received. We’ll hold space for this grief gently, without rushing it away.
Rebuilding your sense of self
"Who am I, really?"
When you’ve spent years being dismissed or manipulated, trusting yourself again can feel like learning a new language. We’ll work on reconnecting with your values, voice, and needs — without shame.
Moving forward with strenght and subtlety
"I’m not who I was — and I’m okay with that".
You don’t have to become someone else to heal. You just get to become more you. With time, you’ll start spotting red flags sooner, setting boundaries with less fear, and feeling more steady in your skin.
