About me
I’m Emma Davey, a Multiple Award-Winning Trauma-Informed Counsellor and ICF Somatic Trauma-Informed Recovery Coach, specialising in helping survivors of Narcissistic Abuse, Domestic Abuse, and Coercive Control.
These experiences can come from a partner, parent, friend, boss, or sibling anyone who has sought to control or diminish your sense of self. My work is dedicated to helping you break free from those dynamics and reconnect with your authentic, empowered self.
I am also the Founder of MyNARA – My Narcissistic Abuse Recovery App, launched in October 2023 and now available in all major app stores. MyNARA is a global resource offering guidance, tools, and community support for survivors rebuilding their lives after abuse (seen on BBC News)
How I Work
I offer online Counselling and Trauma Therapy using a range of trauma and evidence-based methods and tools, including:
Brainspotting
ICF Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy / Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
At My Trauma Therapy, we specialise in helping survivors of trauma, domestic abuse, and coercive control rebuild their lives — one step at a time.
Our mission is simple: to help you heal from the pain of the past and reconnect with the strongest version of yourself. We provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you’ll be supported, understood, and empowered to move forward at your own pace.
Through 1:1 therapy sessions, online support, and an empowering healing community, we guide you through the recovery process, helping you break trauma cycles, rebuild your confidence, and rediscover your peace.
My Experience
I have extensive experience supporting clients with:
Narcissistic Abuse and Coercive Control
Trauma (past and present)
Domestic Abuse
Addiction and Trauma Bonds
PTSD / Complex PTSD
Anxiety and Depression
Relationship Issues
Self-harm and Suicidal Thoughts
Stress and Emotional Regulation
I understand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re trapped in pain, confusion, or self-doubt. You may feel isolated, unheard, or unsure where to turn. In our sessions, you’ll have a confidential, compassionate space where you can speak freely and honestly without judgment.
I believe therapy should be as unique as you are, so I tailor every session to your individual needs. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach to healing. My role is to walk beside you as we uncover what’s holding you back and build the tools for lasting change.
What to Expect in Your First Session
Our first session will be an initial assessment, where I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, challenges, and goals. Together, we’ll clarify what you want to achieve and start creating a path toward healing.
Each session will help you gain clarity, self-awareness, and practical tools you can use in your daily life.
Counselling is about you, your voice, your healing, and your future. It’s a space to rediscover your strength and remind yourself that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.
Understanding Narcissistic and Coercive Abuse
Many people don’t realise they’ve experienced abuse until much later. Coercive control and narcissistic manipulation can begin subtly through love bombing, mirroring, and emotional dependency before escalating into control, isolation, and self-doubt.
You may feel like you’re walking on eggshells, constantly seeking approval, or questioning your reality. This is not your fault. These behaviours are designed to erode your confidence and sense of identity.
Recovery is challenging, but it is absolutely possible. With the right guidance and trauma-informed tools, you can heal, reclaim your identity, and break free from the cycle of manipulation.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
I run a members only Victims of Narcissistic Recovery Group via zoom. Each week members of the group meet and discuss the effects and recovery methods of Narcissist Abuse. It allows members to share their stories and have a safe environment where they feel heard and understood without judgement. You become part of the fellowship.
Talking to friends/family, that have not experienced this abuse, can be frustrating as others don’t understand why it’s so hard to let go. You’re suffering from an addiction and just like any other addiction such as drugs or alcohol (AOD), you need to focus on your recovery. “Love Addiction” affects the same part of the brain as AOD which is why leaving is so tough, because you start to get withdrawals when you don’t get your fix.
Talking is a huge part of recovery, not only to remind yourself of the trauma you went through but to know you were not to blame. Talking will help you recognise your triggers and develop healthy boundaries to protect yourself in the future.
This group supports you on your journey to recovery and becoming Narcissist free or learning coping strategies if you have no choice in having the Narcissist in your life. You are not on your own – we are all in this together.
