Abuse and trauma counselling is an evidence-based approach to helping individuals process the pain of past abuse, whether it be physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological. It can provide helpful strategies for managing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) such as nightmares, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and avoidance behaviour.
Types of Abuse Counselling Can Address
- Domestic violence
- Sexual assault or harassment
- Emotional or psychological maltreatment
- Verbal abuse
- Bullying or Cyberbullying
- Neglect
No matter how much time has passed since the abuse occurred, can help people heal their wounds by providing them with a safe space to discuss their feelings and experiences openly and honestly. Through, individuals can learn new coping strategies, develop greater self-awareness, and reconnect with their true selves in meaningful ways.
