A mum who almost died at the hands of an abusive partner has joined forces with a celebrity therapist to offer help to other domestic abuse victims. Emma Cranston was savagely attacked by a former partner, who forbid her to wear make-up and forced her to give up her job.
George Arathoon beat Emma so badly one night that she had to be air-lifted to hospital, yet tricked her into thinking she couldn't live without him. After eventually escaping the relationship, the mum-of-two has since retrained in psychotherapy and formed a friendship with TV therapist Robert Hisee.
Emma, 39, was attacked by her ex-partner Arathoon in February 2018. He was later handed a five-year prison sentence for the assault.
