At The Echo Society, we understand the profound and often devastating impact of narcissistic abuse and coercive control. Our confidential online counselling service is specifically designed for adults affected by this form of relational trauma.

​

We recognise how long these patterns can remain hidden — whether they stem from a parent, partner, sibling, friend, someone in the workplace, or another significant role in your life — and how deeply they can shape your sense of safety, identity, and connection. Finding a counsellor or psychotherapist who truly understands these complex, subtle dynamics is essential for effective healing.

​

Our commitment to trauma-informed support is rooted in the understanding that healing requires more than general therapeutic knowledge. Every practitioner at The Echo Society brings a deep, lived understanding of these dynamics — alongside robust professional training.​

​

This foundation allows us to meet you with clarity, care, and unwavering respect — offering support that is both emotionally grounded and therapeutically effective. Our approach is guided by trauma-informed principles, creating a space that is safe, compassionate, and affirming — where you feel seen, heard, and supported.​

​
