Domestic abuse counselling delivers vital, trauma-informed support to survivors reclaiming safety, power, and self-worth after cycles of physical, emotional, or psychological harm. Tailored for individuals, partners, or families, sessions employ empowerment models, safety planning, and therapies like EMDR and narrative reconstruction to process trauma, rebuild boundaries, and foster resilience. Address isolation, shame, and trust erosion with compassionate validation and practical tools—crisis intervention, legal navigation, and community resources. From immediate escape strategies to long-term thriving, specialized guidance transforms victimhood into victory. You deserve freedom and dignity; break the silence.

Domestic Abuse
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Recovering from an abusive relationship requires a therapist who understands the profound impact of power, control, and fear on the human system. Drawing on over 15 years of experience on the frontlines of high-intensity crisis and mental health settings, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you make sense of your experience.
We work together to address the Complex PTSD and survival strategies—like numbing or hyper-vigilance—that your system developed to keep you safe. My approach is deeply compassionate and focused on your current stability. Together, we work to help your 'parts' feel truly secure again, moving you from the shadow of the past toward a life of autonomy and genuine peace.
