Counsellors

[seaglass]

Hi, I’m still struggling with getting my partner to leave, whether I should, whether I’m being too dramatic, whether I’m imagining it etc etc. My friends who I have told are absolutely behind me in that his behaviour has been abusive, but I’m still being drawn into maybe I have it wrong, maybe it is really me. So I feel I would benefit in talking to someone I don’t know who understands the whole cycle of abuse. It’s the whole self doubt thing, and my brain gets so terribly muddled, I emailed my local Woman’s aid to see if they had a list of private counsellors but they don’t. Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a register somewhere I could refer to? Thanks

Talk to your GP and ask for a referral and also talk to your local women’s aid. They know more about domestic abuse than anyone. If you google local counsellors they should come up in a register and you can look for the ones with relevant experience. I think it’s BACP register.

The BACP Register is a public record of counsellors and psychotherapists who meet or exceed our recommended minimum quality standards. These standards cover training, supervision, continuing professional development and a contractual commitment to our Ethical Framework.
