Hello! I’m Zoe.

​

I was in an abusive relationship for 6 years, so I really do understand the tangled confusion you feel. After getting free, I decided to get qualified as a coach and counselor so I can help you, as I wound that the specialist support available to survivors was limited. I have been free for 7 years now, and I am in a happy, healthy relationship, so I can guide you on your journey to being able to thrive after abuse.

 

It’s like we have all dated the same person, one who displayed characteristics of a narcissist, sociopath and psychopath!  I understand the pathological minds games, emotional control, and manipulation that a toxic person inflicts on their target. I have been emotionally, physically, sexually and financial abused. I have been hoovered and love bombed and been tempted to fall for it. I’ve been made to feel crazy and think that I was losing my mind. I have been sucked dry and made to feel unbalanced, numb and depleted. 

​

I thought I had married my soulmate; little did I know that he was wearing a mask! Everything was amazing at first, I felt loved and cared for but then it slowly started to change. I could never do enough for him, he always wanted more and I felt like  I was constantly failing. After my daughter was born, things started to get worse, he would constantly accuse me of cheating, call me names, say I was ugly and make me feel worthless. He then started to get physical, it started small, a pinch, a slap, pulling my hair but soon he was raping me on a regular basis, strangling and pinning me down on the floor.

​

After I left him, for six months he stalked me until it finally escalated to the point of him battering in my front door with a concrete block, attacking and head-butting me, which resulted in me needing 12 stitches in my forehead.
