If you’ve ever walked away from a relationship feeling confused, self-doubting, or like you somehow lost yourself — you’re not alone, and you’re not imagining it.

Narcissistic abuse often isn’t loud or obvious.
It’s subtle, disorientating, and slowly erodes your trust in your own reality.

This online narcissistic abuse recovery support group is a small, closed group of 6 women, designed to offer safety, understanding, and clarity without judgement, analysis, or pressure to “heal faster.”

You will be supported by an experienced psychotherapist with lived experience, alongside women who truly understand what you’ve been through.

This is not group therapy.
It is a professionally facilitated support group, grounded in structure, boundaries, and shared understanding.

What we’ll explore together includes:
• Gaslighting and reality erosion
• Trauma bonding and why leaving is so hard
• The difference between love-bombing and genuine, healthy interest
• Rebuilding trust in yourself

Practical details:
• Starts this Monday
• Mondays at 1pm
• 6 weeks (90 minutes weekly)
• £240 total (£40 per week)
• Full 6 weeks paid in advance
• Online & confidential

If the group fills, you can join the waiting list for the next intake.

Living well on the outside doesn’t always mean feeling well on the inside.

In cultures focused on ambition, beauty, opportunity, and expectation,
f many people, life looks successful, yet feels quietly heavy.

You may be carrying:
• Pressure to succeed or represent your family well
• The strain of living between cultures or identities
• Loneliness despite being surrounded by people
• Emotional exhaustion from always “holding it together”
• Anxiety, low mood, or numbness that has no obvious cause

In many cultures, emotional pain is endured silently.
Strength is shown through resilience, not expression.
But unspoken stress doesn’t disappear, it settles into the body and nervous system.

Therapy doesn’t mean rejecting your culture, values, or faith.
It means creating a private, respectful space where your inner world is allowed to exist too. Where you can discover and be your true authentic Self.

I work gently and confidentially online with adults who are:
• Struggling with keeping up appearances
• Navigating cultural expectations, identity conflict, or emotional overwhelm
• Struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, or relationship difficulties
• High-functioning on the outside, depleted on the inside

This is not about blame.
It’s about understanding what your mind and body have been carrying — and learning how to feel steadier, calmer, and more at ease within yourself.

Support can be quiet.
Healing can be respectful.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

Online therapy available. Discreet. Culturally sensitive. Human.

🔥It’s important for everyone to know the difference between Lovebombing & Genuine Interest because the two can feel almost identical at first , but the long-term outcomes are very different.

🔥Protecting emotional safety

Love bombing creates a false sense of security early on, which can make people ignore red flags or override their own boundaries. If you can spot it, you’re less likely to get trapped in manipulative or toxic dynamics.

🔥Building relationships on reality, not fantasy

Genuine interest grows steadily and is based on who you actually are. Love bombing is based on idealisation — they’re falling for an image, not the real you. Knowing the difference helps you invest in relationships that have a true foundation.

🔥Preventing cycles of harm

Love bombing is often part of the abuse cycle — intense affection followed by withdrawal, criticism, or control. Recognising it early can stop you getting locked into repeated highs and lows.

🔥Reducing self-blame after bad experiences

People who’ve been love-bombed and then discarded often think, “I must have done something wrong.” Understanding the pattern shifts the blame off the victim and onto the unhealthy behaviour.

🔥Helping you pace healthy relationships

If you know the signs, you won’t reject healthy enthusiasm out of fear, and you won’t confuse manipulation for passion. That means you can give genuine people a fair chance while still protecting yourself

🔥GOOD LUCK OUT THERE!🔥
