OR VIA STRIPE, SEE LINKS BELOWI’m Dr Grant, and I am an online coach, specialising in recovery from abusive and narcissistically abusive relationships. I was a doctor for 18 years before I became a coach - and once upon a time I was in a relationship with a narcissist too. So I know how devastating abusive relationships can be. I get it. And I think unless you have been through it yourself, it’s hard to understand how soul destroying it is.I found my own keys to recovery, however. Finding conventional help ineffective, I used my medical knowledge and personal experiences to research in depth what was really going on to mind and body in these relationships. I learned the techniques I needed to regain my freedom. And now I am sharing them with clients who are currently in the miserable place that I once was.What people really don’t realise, I found - even doctors and many therapists - is that the abuse literally changes your brain and body, and that underpins so much of what you experience. Many people get “stuck” after the relationship, their brain stuck in patterns dating from the how you were treated, and they can’t understand why they can’t move on. I will explain why this isn’t weakness on your part - this was done to you.I will help you understand WHY you feel as you do, WHY you know someone is toxic but can’t stop thinking about them, WHY he/she behaved that way and, crucially. HOW you can get your life back from abusive or traumatic relationships. What sets my coaching apart is that I give you SCIENCE-BASED TECHNIQUES THAT AIM TO ACTUALLY REVERSE THE BODY AND MIND CHANGES THAT THE ABUSE CAUSED.Over time, clarity is restored. You get your freedom back.I offer a structured programme that has already helped clients move forward and reclaim their autonomy, Why not book a FREE no obligation, “no sales pitch” Zoom call to find out more - click below to book an informal chat to see if coaching is right for you, and if I am best placed to help.If you are struggling after being with a narcissist, I am confident that I can be of help.
How It Works
The road to recovery I offer is my unique coaching package, called The Freedom Road - this covers all you might need to set off on the path to full healing and consists of a month’s coaching.You receive four one hour Zoom sessions at times to suit you, every week, with concrete steps you can begin taking. This means you can start the process of healing straight after session one. I also offer WhatsApp support in between sessions. The full course is £200. This is less than half what other doctors-turned coaches charge, and is priced because I understand those in need of help may be people who are newly single and starting again, or who been financially controlled.Alternatively, “a pay as you go” option of weekly coaching sessions is also available. You may continue with those for as long as you like, or receive just one. It is up to you. That option is £60 per session, or £110 for two.I found standard therapies did not work, either for myself or my patients.That is because treatments such as counselling are simply not specific enough. They do not change the altered brain chemistry that lies behind much of WHY and HOW you feel as you do.The sessions are always tailored to individual needs but the rough structure for healing from a narcissistic relationship is:-1.Discuss current contact with your ex and why minimising it is important, and how. Understand the narcissist’s brain, what science tells us about it, and why you can use this to explain everything that happened and see who they truly are - why they can’t change2. Understand what abuse did to your brain and understand why you feel the way you do and realise this was all done to you, it isn’t your fault3. Techniques for diminishing body’s fight or flight cues which then calm your mind and undo the stress response, learn techniques such as cognitive reframing to reverse what was done to you4.Other techniques such as switching on executive function, affect labelling etc. All to undo the effects on your mind that abuse created which underpin what kept you “stuck”. Discuss how to deal with your ex contacting you and future relationships.Advice on recovery is tailored to you but follows techniques which aim to reverse that nervous system ‘hijack’. After each session you will get that pdf action plan of how to start your own recovery.My course is based on understanding, scientifically, why you are trauma bonded, then doing what works to break free of the bonds.I recommend the full 4 session £200 course for best results. It is designed to give you all the tools you need to be the old, confident you again.However, If you are unsure about an outlay up front then remember you can also pay for the course ‘as you go’ at £50 weekly, and continue for as long as you need or are finding it helpful. And of course I offer a free 30 min Zoom call first to answer any queries and to explain how it all helps in a clear, down to earth and friendly way - you can book this now via the link above.If you are ready to start your journey, you can book your first sessions on the links below. Payment should be made 24hrs before the appointment.Payment is via bank transfer preferably (contact me to book a time slot first) or Stripe or Revolut for further peace of mind if preferred. All cards and Google Pay and PayPal are accepted via Stripe and Revolut.For any queries, please contact me at [email protected]
A Coach Who Understands How You Feel
Not so long ago I went through two terrible years of trauma, including narcissistic abuse. At work, the NHS no longer functioned, and all too often, I realised it was increasingly impossible to truly help my patients. People in mental distress were getting one-size-fits-all treatments of “pills and counselling”. And people who had been through traumatic abuse seemed to need something far more specific, something based on a proper understanding of what an abusive partner had done to their mind and body. The system was stressed and so was I.So I left my job, stripped life back to its essentials, bought a campervan and hit the open road. Travelling the world in the van gave me the space to read all I could on the effects of traumatic and narcissistic relationships - on why treatments for the “mind” fail to look at the effect of abuse on the “body”. I finally understood why I was still stuck. Conventional treatments were simply not targeting the right areas.I used techniques, such as biological resetting, micro-autonomies and cognitive reframing that were known to reverse some of the changes caused by trauma, but were little known or advocated by doctors. I avoided others, such as talking about the relationship or focussing on emotions. As you may know already, often many types of counselling or talking therapy either don’t work or can even make matters worse.Today, I have the clarity and self-confidence I thought were gone forever. I’m not the 'old me'—I am a Sovereign, Focused, and Future-Facing version of myself. Recovery from trauma is entirely possible; I am living proof.So I didn’t return to a broken NHS system. I knew if I, instead, became a coach, I would have the time and autonomy to help others attain their own freedom from the effects of narcissistic abuse, just as I did. It has been so rewarding to see others make progess on to the road to recovery.I’m here to show you the route, too.
Terms & Conditions - What Coaching Is And What It Is Not
Most coaches tell you to 'think positive. But you know you can’t “think your way out” of how you feel. I show you how to regulate your “HPA Axis”.
The Amygdala Hijack: Your 'Brain Fog' is a physical shutdown of your prefrontal cortex. Your emotional “monkey brain” is in charge. We don't talk about it; we use simple, jargon-free steps to re-wire it.
The Cortisol Leak: Withdrawal, rumination, chronic exhaustion and 'NPD Gut' are signs of Allostatic Load. We use Vagal Toning, simple daily activities, to force your body out of 'Survival Mode.'
