Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center is a practice built on the belief that healing takes time, safety, and depth. We are not a quick-fix model. We integrate neuroscience, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and faith for those who desire it, so that change is not just behavioural but transformational. What sets us apart is our commitment to long-term relational work, nervous system stabilization, and whole-person care. We look at the patterns beneath the symptoms, the story beneath the survival, and we create a space where individuals, couples, and families can slow down enough to heal from the inside out. We are steady, clinically grounded, and rooted in the understanding that sustainable change happens when people feel safe enough to be fully seen.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
I believe that meaningful change doesn’t come from forcing or fixing yourself, it comes from understanding yourself more deeply, and learning how to work with your mind and body, rather than against them. In my work as a clinical hypnotherapist, I often meet people who are capable, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, or self-doubt. These patterns can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve “tried everything” to change them. What I’ve seen, time and time again, is that real, lasting change happens when we gently access the deeper parts of the mind where these patterns are held. This is where hypnotherapy can be incredibly effective; supporting you to shift not just how you think, but how you feel, respond, and experience yourself day to day.

Sydney is the urban centre of Cape Breton Regional Municipality and the primary city on Cape Breton Island, a former industrial centre whose steel industry collapsed across the 1960s–2000s, leaving behind one of Canada's most contaminated industrial sites—the Sydney Tar Ponds—and a community that has grappled with the environmental, economic, and psychological legacy of industrial decline and contamination for generations. The Cape Breton Regional Hospital provides mental health services, and the community's tight-knit social fabric—Cape Breton is known for its Celtic cultural traditions, music, and community solidarity—provides genuine protective factors against isolation. Cape Breton University contributes to a modest growth in the regional knowledge economy alongside a student mental health dimension. Common therapy concerns include economic grief and community loss following industrial decline, environmental trauma, seasonal depression in an Atlantic climate, and the mental health challenges of a community that has shown remarkable resilience while confronting genuinely difficult circumstances.
