'My boyfriend was 10 years younger, charming and funny - then he almost killed me'

A mum who was beaten so badly by her abusive partner that she had to be airlifted to hospital has joined forces with a celebrity therapist to help other victims of domestic abuse.

Emma Cranston was savagely attacked by former partner George Arathoon, who forbade her to wear make-up, forced her to give up her job and manipulated 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.
