Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, you may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or trapped in a level of pain that seems unending. You might feel hopeless, numb, or burdened by the belief that things will not improve. These thoughts can feel frightening and isolating, yet they are often a signal of deep distress rather than a true desire to die.
At Selah Counselling, we take suicidal thoughts seriously and respond with calm, compassionate care. Your safety is our priority. We work with you to reduce immediate risk, strengthen protective supports, and understand the factors contributing to your pain. Together, we focus on stabilizing your nervous system, addressing underlying depression, trauma, or stress, and rebuilding a sense of hope and connection. You do not have to navigate this alone.
If you are in immediate danger or feel unable to keep yourself safe, please seek urgent support by calling 911 or going to your nearest emergency department. In Canada, you can also call or text 988 for the Suicide Crisis Helpline, available 24 hours a day.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Psychotherapy can often be beneficial for people who are experiencing chronic suicidal ideation and behavior. However, when individuals are at risk of suicide it is essential that they receive a higher level of care and weekly psychotherapy is not always sufficient on its own to protect those who are in crisis and adequately address risk. Once an individual is no longer in crisis, therapy to treat the underlying causes of suicidal ideation or behavior is typically recommended. The psychotherapy model considers hopelessness to be the strongest contributing factor to suicidal ideation, and a large part of crisis intervention and post crisis counseling aims to restore hope. An individual who continues in therapy once the point of crisis has passed will likely explore ways to resist urges to self-harm, address the factors that led to suicidal thoughts, and create a plan that includes coping strategies and methods to address suicidal thoughts in the event that they recur.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
When life’s pain feels overwhelming and inescapable, it is understandable that suicidal thoughts would emerge as a response as it acts as a shield of sorts. From an emotionally focused perspective, I aim to gently explore and understand the deep emotional pain that gives rise to feelings of suicide which are often rooted in profound disconnection, emotional isolation, and a sense of hopelessness. In our work together, I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you can express your emotions openly, without fear of judgment. At the same time, we carefully examine the emotional triggers behind these thoughts - such as feelings of rejection, worthlessness, or abandonment. We will work towards a greater self-awareness of your emotional needs and vulnerabilities through the therapeutic relationship. It can also be useful to use Internal Family Systems (IFS) as it offers a compassionate framework for addressing suicidal thoughts by exploring the various parts of ourselves that may be in conflict or distress. In IFS, these thoughts often represent a part that feels overwhelmed or hopeless. Instead of judging this part, IFS encourages us to approach it with curiosity and compassion to understand its intentions. This process can also lead us to reveal protective parts shielding us from unresolved trauma. By acknowledging and integrating these parts, we can begin to reduce internal tension and ultimately help to ease the suicidal thoughts. Book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.

London, Ontario is home to Western University and one of Canada's leading teaching hospitals — London Health Sciences Centre — which together make it a significant hub for medical education and mental health training, feeding a well-developed private practice community. The city's large student population, combined with a substantial healthcare and professional workforce, drives consistent demand for therapists working with academic stress, young adult identity, and the pressures of high-achieving careers. London's growing immigrant community — including large South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African populations — is increasing demand for culturally informed and multilingual therapists. The city's relatively affordable cost of living compared to Toronto and Hamilton makes private therapy accessible to a broader cross-section of the population.
