About me
Specialist Counselling for Women Navigating High-Conflict Relationships, Deception & Loss
Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells in your own home?
Many women reach out to me when they are quietly exhausted. You might be managing someone else’s unpredictable moods, feeling like your reality is being rewritten, or grieving a relationship that has fundamentally changed. When speaking your mind risks conflict or being labelled as the problem, it is easy to lose trust in your own judgment.
I offer a calm, confidential, and completely reality-based space where you do not have to edit your thoughts or defend your feelings.
How I Can Support You
Ambiguous Loss & Partner Change: Making sense of the shock, grief, and confusion when a partner or family member changes radically, or when you discover you have been living with a hidden reality.
Coercive Control & Gaslighting: Rebuilding your confidence, boundaries, and sense of self after enduring emotional manipulation or domestic control.
Silencing in Families: Practical and emotional support for mothers, wives, and sisters who feel isolated, shut down, or pressured to keep the peace at their own expense.
Reclaiming Your Voice: Helping you find solid ground again after being bullied, cancelled, or pushed out of family or social circles.
What to Expect
Starting therapy when your trust has been battered can feel daunting. There is no agenda here and no script to follow—just an open, honest conversation about what you are dealing with right now.
Free 20-Minute Introductory Video Call: We can have a brief, no-pressure chat on the phone or video to discuss what you need and see if we are a good fit.
In-Person Sessions: Salisbury House, Wallsend
Online Sessions: Secure video sessions available anywhere in the UK.
To get in touch: Send a message through the form on this page or email me directly at kelly@kellyoliverdougall.co.uk to arrange our introductory call.
