Narcissistic abuse refers to a pattern of emotional and psychological abuse that leaves survivors questioning their own reality, self-worth, and judgment. Recovery requires specialist therapeutic support.

Our therapists are experienced in trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, and psychodynamic approaches to gently address the impact of the relationship on your sense of self.
Recovery from narcissistic abuse is not straightforward. The very mechanisms of this kind of relationship — the erosion of self-trust, the distortion of reality, the confusion that persists long after the relationship has ended — make it difficult to know what you are recovering from, let alone how. At London Trusted Therapy, we have considerable experience in this area, and we will help you make sense of what happened and begin to reclaim yourself.
Every practitioner at London Trusted Therapy holds substantial postgraduate training and professional accreditation, with a minimum of five years of clinical experience and an average of fifteen to twenty years across the team. Our practitioners include chartered and counselling psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors accredited with the BACP, UKCP, COSRT and HCPC- all working under the clinical direction of Dr Olena Edwards-Skadowska, BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, MBPsS, FMBPsS, and actively practising clinician.
Dr Edwards-Skadowska is the recipient of the Outstanding Leadership Award for Services to Mental Health, presented at the Health 2.0 Global Conference 2024 — a recognition that reflects the values of excellence, integrity, and genuine clinical commitment that run through everything London Trusted Therapy does.

The psychological impact of narcissistic abuse often includes trauma, anxiety, depression, and significant disruption to self-esteem and identity. Our multidisciplinary structure allows for internal cross-referral where needed — to EMDR specialists for trauma processing, to psychiatry where depression or anxiety warrant review, or to other practitioners within the team whose expertise is relevant to your recovery. Everything remains within one trusted practice.
London Trusted Therapy is a holistic practice. We do not begin with a protocol and fit you to it — we begin with you.
For narcissistic abuse recovery, this means starting with safety and stabilisation — helping you re-establish a felt sense of groundedness in your own experience and perception. Somatic Experiencing addresses the trauma held in the body, which often persists long after the relationship has ended. Psychodynamic and existential approaches help you understand the relational dynamics of the relationship, the vulnerabilities that were exploited, and the self that is now rebuilding. EMDR processes the traumatic memories and experiences that continue to intrude. Mindfulness-based approaches support the gradual restoration of trust in your own inner experience. The work proceeds entirely at your pace.
Should you feel that your first session did not meet your expectations or that your therapist wasn’t a good fit, we will provide another session completely free of charge with a different practitioner.
