Frequently Asked Questions
What is narcissistic abuse recovery coaching?
It’s a trauma-informed, neuroscience-rooted support process designed to help survivors of narcissistic relationships reconnect with their authentic selves, rebuild boundaries, regulate their nervous systems, and reclaim joy. Coaching is not about diagnosing others - it’s about healing you.
Who is this coaching for?
Anyone who has experienced emotional manipulation, gaslighting, or chronic invalidation in relationships - with partners, parents, friends, colleagues, or communities. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsafe, this space was created for you.
What can I expect in a session?
Sessions are confidential, compassionate, and paced to your nervous system. You’re welcome to bring your story, your silence, or your questions. You’ll leave feeling more grounded, more understood, and more connected to yourself.
Can I attend online or in person?
Yes. Sessions are available both online and in-person on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. You choose what feels safest and most accessible for you.
How do I know if I’m experiencing narcissistic abuse?
If you often feel blamed, belittled, emotionally erased, or like you’re “too sensitive,” you may be navigating narcissistic dynamics. Coaching can help you explore this gently and safely - without pressure or judgment.
What if I’m still in the relationship?
You’re welcome here. Many clients begin coaching while still in contact with the narcissistic person. The goal is to build clarity, boundaries, and nervous system safety - so you can make empowered choices in your own time.
Do you offer support for adult children of narcissistic parents?
Absolutely. Intergenerational healing is a core part of my work. I support clients in breaking inherited cycles, reclaiming their voice, and modeling nervous system safety for future generations.
How do I book a session?
You can book a session with me HERE or you can reach me directly via email. I offer free 15-minute consults to help you decide if this support is right for you HERE.
Do you offer Medicare Rebates?
WORTH Wellness Centre is a private practice and does not offer Medicare rebates. We operate outside the Medicare system to provide flexible, trauma-informed care without diagnostic requirements or session limits. This allows us to tailor support to your unique needs, pace, and healing goals. If you have any questions about fees or payment options, we’re happy to discuss them with you.
