Living through abuse or violence can leave deep emotional wounds, along with fear, shame, and uncertainty about where to turn. No one deserves to feel unsafe in their own relationship. In therapy, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to process your experiences, rebuild your sense of safety, and regain trust in yourself. Together, we’ll work on healing from trauma, setting healthy boundaries, and creating a path forward where your voice, needs, and well-being come first.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse or violence, you may feel afraid, confused, ashamed, or unsure of what is normal anymore. Abuse can be physical, emotional, psychological, financial, or spiritual. It often erodes confidence and creates a cycle of fear and self-doubt that is difficult to break. You may question your own perceptions or feel responsible for keeping the peace.
At Selah Counselling, your safety and dignity are our priority. We provide a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and be believed. We help you understand patterns of abuse, rebuild clarity, and strengthen emotional and practical safety planning when needed. Our work focuses on restoring your sense of agency, helping regulate the nervous system after trauma, and rebuilding an identity that may have been diminished over time. Healing is possible, and you do not have to navigate it alone.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
Counselling can help if clients are experiencing domestic abuse or violence. It is often difficult to seek help because we start believing we deserve it, or we are afraid to stand up for ourselves, we're afraid the abuser will get worse, or we don't know how we'll survive financially. There is help out there and support from trained professionals who have often experienced domestic abuse themselves. Safety is the number one concern. Clients will experience relief when they are able to get help because they'll learn there is life outside of abuse. It is possible to heal and thrive after abuse.
