Sexual Abuse
Donna Wigmore Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, CT
I have recently taken an in-depth course on Counselling adult survivors of Sexual Violence. I learned a lot about how to approach dealing with this trauma. In this work, we must move forward gently and cautiously, giving trust between us to build. From the outset, as you are ready, it will be good and effective for you to know there is compassion for what you have experienced. Although the body may not be a safe place from which to work at first, because of this trauma, we will carefully and gradually establish a new way to expand your window of tolerance so that you can feel safe.

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.
