One of the most damaging impacts of domestic abuse is how it erodes your sense of self.
You forget who you were before them - what you liked, how you laughed, what made you feel alive.
Abusers chip away at your identity, replacing it with their version of you, the one that’s…
When you hear someone over-explaining, know one (or all) of these is true:
1). They’ve often had their reality denied.
2). They've been hurt in unpredictable ways & believe it was because they didn't explain better.
3). They've grown up being ignored.
Please be patient.
We don’t have a ‘mental health crisis’.
We have a poverty and cost of living crisis. A trauma and child abuse crisis. A domestic and sexual abuse crisis. A bullying and violence crisis. A working-80-hour-weeks crisis. A healthcare crisis. A social media crisis. An oppression…
People love to ask, “Why didn’t you just leave?”
It’s such a simple question for them, but it’s so much more complicated for those of us who’ve lived through it. They don’t understand the fear, the manipulation, or the way your self-worth is slowly chipped away until leaving…
1/ I represented the Mother in this case which shows how abusers will go to extreme lengths to silence & discredit victims, including attacking the victims solicitor with baseless allegations in an attempt to isolate them victim from their chosen representative.

Thank you to everyone who has fought alongside us. This is a landmark moment for women’s rights in this country, and we should all feel incredibly proud.
Decriminalizing abortion is one of the most grown up, progressive decisions the UK has made in years. It trusts people to act with conscience, and pardons those who find themselves in atrocious circumstances.
The backlash to NC1 has been loud - and dangerously misinformed.
It doesn’t change the 24-week limit. Abortions after that point remain illegal unless strict medical grounds are met, as set out in the 1967 Abortion Act. That law still stands.
What NC1 does is decriminalise…
Please note.
Abortion has not been “legalised” up to birth in the UK - it’s been decriminalised.
This is an important distinction, especially when so many are deliberately blurring the lines for outrage clicks.
Here’s what actually happened:
What MPs voted for today was to…
No one should ever face prosecution for ending their own pregnancy, but that is exactly what is happening in this country.
I'm therefore pleased that an amendment to stop this has passed in Parliament.
This is a vital step forward for women’s rights and reproductive justice.
This is brilliant news -
No women should be investigated by or criminalised because of the desperate circumstance they may find themselves in which end with a late termination of pregnancy theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
No woman facing one of the hardest moments of her life should face a criminal investigation. Today we have the opportunity to change that.
I urge colleagues to support New Clause 1 and stand up for compassion and justice.
Last night marked a historic milestone for women’s rights: Parliament has voted to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales. For the first time in over a century, those making deeply personal healthcare decisions no longer face the threat of prosecution. This moment is the…
As a barrister, academic, and advocate, I’ve stood alongside women who’ve faced prosecution for abortion—often in the most heartbreaking circumstances—and I've represented those who have suffered under reproductive coercion and control. These are not isolated cases; they are a…
Today, MPs will vote to move forward one of the most significant pieces of legislation affecting women’s bodily autonomy in over a century—the decriminalisation of abortion. This vote isn’t just about healthcare. It’s about justice, dignity, and ending the systemic punishment of…
A father allegedly murders his three daughters—whose wrists had been bound with zip ties and each had been suffocated with a plastic bag and the Daily Mail blames the mother.
She requested the family courts to protect her children. They didn’t. Stop blaming mothers for the…
