Sexual Abuse
Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)(ACCT), B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
Survivors of sexual abuse often carry deep emotional and physical effects that can impact trust, relationships, self-worth, and a sense of safety. I provide a compassionate, confidential, and non-judgmental space where survivors can share their experiences at their own pace, without pressure or expectation.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in emotional safety, helping clients regain a sense of control, stability, and inner strength. Therapy focuses on gentle processing, nervous system regulation, boundary rebuilding, and restoring connection to self. Healing is approached with respect, dignity, and careful pacing, honoring each individual’s unique journey toward recovery.

Sexual Abuse
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Experiences of sexual abuse and assault can have profound and lasting impacts, affecting how you feel in your body, your sense of safety, and your ability to trust yourself and others. You may notice symptoms such as anxiety, shame, dissociation, emotional overwhelm, difficulty with boundaries, or feeling disconnected from your body or relationships. These responses are understandable ways your nervous system has tried to cope with the traumatic experiences.
In our work together, we will move at a pace that prioritizes your sense of safety and control. You will never be asked to share more than you feel ready to, and we will focus on creating stability, grounding, and choice throughout the process. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we will support your nervous system while working with the impact of what you’ve experienced in a way that feels manageable and safe.
I draw from approaches such as EMDR, IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your needs and readiness. EMDR can be particularly helpful in processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity over time, while other approaches support grounding, self-compassion, and reconnection to self and body. Together, we’ll focus on healing in a way that respects you and supports a growing sense of safety, empowerment, and integration.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Sexual Abuse
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have experienced sexual abuse, you may carry pain that feels difficult to put into words. You may experience shame, fear, anger, numbness, or confusion about your own reactions. Trauma can affect how you see yourself, how you trust others, and how your body responds in moments of closeness or stress. What happened to you was not your fault.
At Selah Counselling, we approach sexual abuse with deep compassion and clinical care. Your safety and pacing matter. We do not rush the process. We begin by building stabilization and nervous system regulation so your body feels safer before exploring traumatic memories. Over time, we gently process the impact of the abuse, address distorted beliefs that may have formed, and support you in reclaiming your voice and boundaries. Healing is possible. You deserve a space where you are believed, respected, and supported as you move toward strength and restoration.

Sexual Abuse
Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
What happened to you was not your fault—and healing is possible.
Surviving sexual abuse can leave lasting imprints—shame, fear, disconnection from your body, and a deep sense of mistrust. These experiences often create protective parts that help you survive but may now be keeping you from fully living. In our work together, we move at your pace, always honoring your system’s wisdom. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and gentle somatic practices like TRE, I help you build safety from the inside out, reconnect with your body, and begin to unburden the parts of you that are still carrying the pain. You don’t have to face this alone. You are worthy of safety, healing, and wholeness.

Sexual Abuse
Rebekkah Stainton
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC
You appear to the world as high-functioning, strong, and ining control - but on the inside, often feel anything but. You find yourself carry hidden stress, tension, or disconnection shaped by earlier experiences.
I work with clients who present as high-functioning but feel stuck, numb, tense, or disconnected in ways they can’t fully explain. The goal is to help you feel safe and connected in your own skin again, to trust your instincts, and to engage in life from a place of choice rather than protection. You deserve to feel whole and present in your own life.
***I have specialized in sexual abuse counselling since 2010 and have extensive postgraduate training in childhood sexual abuse, developmental trauma, and the long-term impacts on the mind and body. I am also an approved provider for the Residential Historical Abuse Program and for Survivors of Residential Schools. My approach is steady, trauma-informed, and grounded in helping you reclaim safety, clarity, and a sense of self you can trust.

Sexual Abuse
Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Experiences of sexual abuse can leave deep imprints in the body and nervous system, often long after the event is over. Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) offer a gentle, trauma-informed way to work with the effects of sexual trauma without having to retell or relive the story. SE helps rebuild a sense of safety in the body by slowly releasing stored survival responses such as freeze, shutdown, or hypervigilance. ISP complements this by supporting the safe processing of emotions like fear, shame, or confusion, helping you stay connected to yourself without becoming overwhelmed. Together, these approaches help restore boundaries, self-trust, and a sense of agency, allowing healing to unfold at a pace that honors your system
