Toxic And Narcissistic Parent Recovery Counselling With Mel

Hi I’m Mel

I am an online counsellor (and narc parent survivor) and I specialise in helping my clients understand, heal and recover from a toxic relationship with a narcissistic or abusive parent.

Does your parent ever give you the silent treatment?

Do you feel like you are dealing with the consequences of bad parenting?

Do you think you were treated badly or unfairly during your childhood by
your parent?

Does your parent still treat you badly even though you are an adult?

Does all this still affect you today, and you can’t stop thinking about the way they treated you?

Does this leave you feeling confused and with a low self-esteem, but you don’t know what to do about it or how to get over it?

Have you been googling ‘narcissism’ and ‘toxic parents’ to try to understand what’s been going on with your mum or dad?

If so, then you might be feeling really hurt and confused, frustrated and unable to see a way out or how things can change.

Does any of this feel familiar:

As a child

• You felt like you were never good enough
• You were told you were too sensitive or dramatic, that you shouldn’t get so upset about things, and that you should just get over it
• Your parent seemed wrapped up in themselves and their life
• Your parent didn’t seem to care about your feelings
• You felt like you were to blame if things went wrong or your parent was upset
• Your parent gave you the silent treatment
• Your parent was controlling and manipulative
• Your parent had an addiction or mental illness that took over their life, which meant you didn’t get the love and care you deserved
• You were made to feel bad or wrong if you got upset
• Your needs weren’t met

As an adult

• You still feel like you are not good enough
• You feel confused, anxious, sad in your relationship with your parent
• You have a low self-esteem and low self-worth
• You feel like whatever you do is never good enough
• You have a need to self-isolate and self-soothe
• You are still being told that you are too sensitive or dramatic, that you shouldn’t get up and you should just get over it
• Your parent puts you down and never celebrates your achievements
• Conversations with your parent goes around in circles and leave you feeling confused and sad
• You sometimes doubt your perception of events and you feel like you are going crazy
• You struggle to make decisions, second guess yourself, and don’t trust your gut instinct or intuition
• Your parent never takes responsibility for their behaviour, instead they blame you or others for their problems or the way things turn out

After a few sessions with me you will:

• No longer feel confused or question your parents behaviour because you will learn exactly what’s been going on and why they behave the way they do
• Finally make sense of your childhood
• Learn why you feel the way you do
• Make sense of your experiences
• Learn new strategies on how to handle things with your parent differently
• Learn how to no longer get sucked into their drama
• Learn how to protect yourself from any future toxic relationships
• Learn how to like yourself and trust yourself again
• Learn how to recover from the mental health issues this leaves us with like: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, PTSD, CPTSD
• Discover the real you and your true identity, 
• Feel better, calmer, stronger, with a new sense of hope for a brighter future

I understand that making contact with a therapist and talking to me for the first time can feel scary. You might not know what to say or how to explain what’s going on for you.
Please know this will be a very informal chat and I will understand your situation.
Then we will set up a meeting in our diaries for the first zoom session.
