Women’s Counselling

For women whose lives have been affected by recent or historic violence and abuse to begin reclaiming their sense of self and safety.

Our women’s counsellors provide individual and group counselling for women whose lives have been affected by recent or historical violence including relationship violence, childhood abuse, or sexual assault. We believe that women are the experts of their own situation and reality. Our aim is to provide the opportunity for women to explore themselves and their situation. We encourage women to trust their intuition, to talk about their experience and to discover their power. We provide one-to-one counselling, groups, and workshops to facilitate healing and growth.

Strategies for Empowerment - first Thursday of each month from 10 am – 12 noon.
A powerful workshop developed for women who have experienced violence and are dealing with the effects of trauma in their lives. The workshop provides education on the psychological and biological impacts of trauma. It looks closely at post-traumatic stress responses including triggers, coping strategies, and women’s strength through resistance to violence.

Other ongoing support groups offered by Haven Transition House and Women’s Counselling may also be available.  For information on current groups please call 754-0764

Child care for individual sessions and groups may be available if booked in advance.
