Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
It's the emotional part of all abuse that makes abuse so painful. Sexual Abuse is an attack on the very essence of what makes us human. It is the ultimate violation. It is also a topic that is hard to talk about and difficult to process but something that cries out to be addressed. Call me...

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.

Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, 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.

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.

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.
