At Tranquil Brook Coaching, I believe in the power of specialised support and holistic life coaching to free and heal from Narcissistic Abuse. I guide you along the rocky path towards finding your true self and a future filled with freedom and joy.
I specialise in supporting men to navigate life living with (or having lived with) a Narcissist, and on the journey through potential separation, divorce, custody, finances, healing and more.

Many people don't even realise that they are in a Narcissistic Abuse relationship. Some people don't even know that things are desperately and deeply wrong: they might feel that things just aren't quite right but are unable to put a finger on exactly what is wrong, whilst others think that life is just, well, fine. Some people feel that they are going round in circles, that they are losing their mind, or that they are not really sure who they are anymore - that there just must be more to life.
You may not have even heard the word 'narcissism' before - or maybe you have a basic understanding of it. Or perhaps you have done endless research on the subject but still can't quite work out why you still feel...frustrated...stuck...unfulfilled.
You may not yet have witnessed the volatility and the full extent of the chaos that the Narcissist can display and cause. It is very common for a Narcissist to keep a lid on and not show their true colours - even for many years. They are able to do this as they have spent much time eroding your personality and manipulating your brain into thinking a certain way, causing you to behave in a way that works in their favour. You soon learn to tow the line in order to keep the peace. You may be so used to living according to their demands that you haven't even noticed that you have changed: that your identity and personality have been eroded.
It is very common to think that life is 'good' and for your partner to be 'lovely' much of the time. It is all fake. Poke the bear and you will watch the firework display!
It is really important to understand - and I can't possibly emphasise HOW important this next bit is - that even if things seem 'good', and you feel that you don't really identify with some of what you have read about narcissism, or don't recognise it in your own life, it doesn't mean that you are not in a Narcissistic Abuse relationship. It is so common to 'reason away' their behaviour: they've behaved poorly because they're tired...or because the children have been a nightmare...or because they've got other priorities such as work/studying/something else that supersedes your work/tiredness/sanity and entitles them to behave as they wish.
You might feel that you are being selfish even thinking that there must be more to life. You might feel that you couldn't possibly leave because of your children.
Let me tell you now: you are NOT selfish to be considering any of it. Let me also tell you that if you are living with a Narcissist you will NEVER be free to live your life - to live wholly as you.
I know that it might be feeling very hard right now: that you might be feeling confused, anxious, or afraid of what's ahead.
I know this because I have been there.
I am a Narcissistic Abuse survivor, having experienced narcissism in romantic, work and familial relationships. You could say I was somewhat of an expert in the field of narcissism long before I even undertook my training! I have, most recently, had the priviledge of supporting my husband on his journey out of a Narcissistic Abuse relationship, and into a life of freedom and joy.
He and I are living proof that it can it be done! I am deeply passionate about supporting people out of these toxic relationships, through the difficult times, and showing them that there is light, freedom, fulfilment and joy at the end of the tunnel.
No matter where you are on your journey, whether you feel stuck in the relationship, are just out of it, have been out for some time, or just plain confused and lost as to exactly where you are, I am here to walk by your side through to the life of freedom that you so deserve.
