Life Coaching London, UK

For 12 years, I lived in an extremely abusive relationship that slowly broke down my confidence, identity, and sense of self. The trauma bond I had with my abuser felt impossible to escape. No matter how much pain I endured, I felt trapped emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. I had convinced myself that this was all life would ever be for me. Then I met Ruairi. Working with Ruairi became the turning point in my life. At a time when I felt completely broken, Ruairi saw strength in me that I could no longer see in myself. He helped me understand the deep impact of trauma and abuse, but more importantly, he helped me believe that my story did not have to end there. In every session, he reminded me that I was not weak, damaged, or beyond saving — I was surviving. When fear told me I couldn’t leave, Ruairi helped me find courage. When the trauma bond pulled me backwards, he helped me move forward. When years of abuse made me doubt my worth, he reminded me that I deserved peace, safety, love, and freedom. Leaving after 12 years was the hardest and bravest thing I have ever done. It felt impossible — until it wasn’t. With Ruairi’s guidance, support, and unwavering belief in me, I finally found the strength to choose myself and walk away from the life that was destroying me. Today, I am no longer just surviving — I am healing, growing, and rebuilding a life I never thought was possible. I wake up with peace instead of fear. I trust myself again. I have my voice back. And for the first time in a very long time, I feel hopeful about my future. Ruairi was more than a trauma therapist and coach to me. He was the light that guided me out of darkness, the strength behind my escape, and a constant reminder that healing is possible even after years of abuse. If you are trapped in abuse and feel like you will never get out, please know this: freedom is possible, healing is possible, and your life can begin again.

I contacted Dr Sabrina Ong due to unusual symptoms in my 4-year-old. I was especially panicked as I was going away for a week. Dr Ong has a lovely manner; she listened intently while reassuring me. She explains her thinking very clearly and has a beautiful communication style. Dr Ong and the wider team mobilised a lot of resources to get my child seen and tested (this happened at 7 pm on a Friday night! I was flying on Sunday). I will be forever grateful for the attention and speed at which their care was delivered. I was able to enjoy my time away, worry-free. My now 5-year-old is completely fine, and CBC will be my first port of call going forward. Highly recommend.
