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.

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.
