Online Counselling for Abuse (Emotional, Physical, or Sexual)

What is abuse?

Abuse occurs when someone hurts or upsets us. From disrespect to hurting someone physically or emotionally, it can take many different forms. It may take place in a public setting, a care facility, a hospital, or someone's home. Abuse perpetrators frequently take advantage of a unique relationship. They could be a friend, relatives, or paid carers that we rely on.

Types of Abuse

Emotional Abuse: Any aggression that can affect your self-worth or negatively affect your emotional well-being is considered emotional abuse. This could involve threats, compulsion, or the use of derogatory or critical language (even online).

Physical Abuse: When someone physically assaults you in any way, that is considered physical abuse. The use of physical aggression, such as striking, pushing, or slapping the partner, can escalate to more severe acts of violence.

Sexual Abuse: Sexual abuse is when someone is forced to have sex with another person against their will. It is a serious betrayal of trust and respect and can happen in any kind of relationship.

Why Choose Online Counselling?

Talking about abuse can be difficult if you are being abused. Online therapy in Canada offers a safe space where you can speak freely with trained professionals. You can receive mental health counselling from the comfort of your own home, making it easier to open up about your experiences.

Living with abuse felt like being in a dark cloud that never lifted. I was always on edge, trying to please others while ignoring my own needs. My self-worth plummeted, and I felt trapped in a cycle of fear and sadness.

I stopped going out with friends and isolated myself, thinking I could avoid more pain. Every day was about surviving, not living. My dreams faded away as I focused only on getting through each moment.

This is not the life I wanted!
