Olivia Fermi
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RTC, ConRes Cert
Sexual abuse can happen in many ways. The damage from sexual abuse can be severe with even "minor" violations. If you know or suspect you've been sexually abused, counselling can help. I offer a wholistic approach starting with hearing your story and holding space for you to share your emotions. With body and breathwork we can find a balance that's healing not re-traumatizing. We would also look at the role of culture, religion, and intergenerational trauma -- healing on these levels can be very powerful.

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.

The aftermath of sexual abuse and trauma can express itself in our lives in many ways. Trauma healing helps to create awareness of coping strategies and to relax the nervous system. Mindfulness and somatic techniques are used to help come back to the body and to heal.

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

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Sexual trauma can have lasting effects, impacting your sense of self and your relationships. Healing is not only possible, but you deserve to reconnect with your body, sexuality, peace, and vitality. This is the heart of my work—I’ve dedicated my education and career to sexual trauma recovery because I truly believe in the power of healing and transformation.
My approach to trauma recovery is grounded in a deep understanding of the complexities of sexual trauma and the importance of reclaiming your sense of safety and well-being. I integrate a variety of modalities, including EMDR, somatic therapy, sex therapy, and tantric meditation, to help you reconnect with yourself in a holistic way. The space I create is one of safety, non-judgment, and support, where you can heal at your own pace and rebuild your connection to your body and pleasure.
Healing is a journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you, providing compassionate care and guidance every step of the way.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Experiencing sexual abuse impacts both the mind and body, often leaving trauma, fear, shame, and tension. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy provide a safe way to engage body and mind, helping survivors process emotions, release stored stress, rebuild a sense of safety, and gradually restore empowerment, trust, and emotional resilience.

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.

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.
