Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for individuals struggling with sexual addiction and compulsive sexual behaviors. I understand that sexual addiction can affect relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being, and believes that healing begins with support, understanding, and practical strategies for change.
Using an integrative approach I help clients identify patterns, understand underlying triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. My approach emphasizes self-compassion, personal responsibility, and building resilience, helping clients regain control and develop a balanced, fulfilling life.
I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment to work through challenges, strengthen self-awareness, and take meaningful steps toward recovery—one compassionate step at a time.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are struggling with sex or pornography addiction, you may feel caught in a cycle that brings temporary relief but leaves you with guilt, secrecy, or shame. You may have tried to stop on your own, only to find the urges returning under stress, loneliness, or emotional overwhelm. Over time, these patterns can affect your relationships, integrity, and self-control.
At Selah Counselling, we approach sexual addiction with clarity, structure, and compassion. We understand that these behaviours are often linked to unmet emotional needs, trauma, attachment wounds, or nervous system dysregulation rather than simply desire. Together, we identify triggers, strengthen accountability, build distress tolerance skills, and address the underlying drivers of the behaviour. When relationships have been affected, we also support repair and rebuilding trust where appropriate. Our goal is not shame-based change, but sustainable freedom that restores integrity, connection, and steadiness over time.
