WHAT IS NARCISSISTIC ABUSE & COERCIVE CONTROL?
Narcissistic abuse is a deeply harmful form of psychological and emotional violence. It involves patterns of manipulation, gaslighting, intimidation, entitlement, emotional punishment, and control that slowly erode your identity, confidence, safety, and sense of reality.
Coercive control may include:
- Being monitored or criticised
- Unpredictable anger or silent treatment
- Emotional withdrawal as punishment
- Blame-shifting and minimising your experiences
- Controlling finances, movements, or communication
- Isolating you from support
- Love-bombing followed by devaluation
- Twisting your words or experiences
- Making you feel responsible for their behaviour
These behaviours create confusion, fear, anxiety, self-doubt, and “walking on eggshells.”
You may have felt silenced, controlled, or overwhelmed — or unsure whether what you experienced “counts” as abuse.
It does.
You are not imagining it.
You are not the problem.
You deserve support that understands the complexity of this form of harm.
Narcissistic Abuse Counselling provides a safe, validating, confidential space where your experience is taken seriously and your emotional safety is prioritised.
