Creating a safety plan is the initial focus of working with domestic abuse or violence. Know that you will be treated in a non-judgmental, safe space that is understanding of all situations. I will also address the emotions and maladaptive thoughts that are a result of abuse.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
Counselling can help if clients are experiencing domestic abuse or violence. It is often difficult to seek help because we start believing we deserve it, or we are afraid to stand up for ourselves, we're afraid the abuser will get worse, or we don't know how we'll survive financially. There is help out there and support from trained professionals who have often experienced domestic abuse themselves. Safety is the number one concern. Clients will experience relief when they are able to get help because they'll learn there is life outside of abuse. It is possible to heal and thrive after abuse.
