Counselling Services

Stopping the Violence therapy is for women who want to understand what has happened to them either as children or adults and to change learned patterns of behaviour. Ann Davis Services offers counselling for women who have suffered any form of current or past abuse; emotional, physical, verbal, sexual, religious, psychological, financial or social.

Stopping the Violence (STV) Counselling

Our Children’s PEACE Counselling works with children aged 3 to 11, using psycho-educational methods grounded in attachment theory. The counsellor views the child within their larger family system and endeavours to support the family.

Youth Counselling (ages 12 – 19) helps youth reach goals, feel heard & understood, and traverse life’s challenges. Our experienced and compassionate counsellors work with teens and parents to facilitate needed conversations and reduce familial discord. Healthy relationships, constructive communication, and conflict resolution are some issues our counsellors can help youth navigate.

PEACE Children & Youth Counselling

We want to promote violence free relationships among family members.  It truly takes healthy families to make healthy communities.

Families are able to attend sessions and receive therapy for a variety of reasons, including wanting to improve communication, resolve conflict, and gain skills in respectful parenting and partnering.

If you are a family facing transitions such as changing from a two parent family to a single parent family or you are facing overwhelming changes in a blended family; you may benefit from family counselling and learn to meet the challenges by developing new skills and solutions.  We also offer family counselling for divorced/separated partners wanting to learn how to co-parent together respectfully.

Stories of Hope

  • “Counselling gave me a place where I could talk openly without feeling judged. I was able to work through things, understand myself better, and build confidence in my abilities. I started believing in my ideas and took a chance on myself. Now, I have successfully built my own business, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come.”

  • “When I first came to counselling, I was overwhelmed and didn’t really know where to start. I had spent so much time just trying to get through each day that I had forgotten what it felt like to feel okay. Having someone listen without judgment and remind me of my own strengths made such a difference. I’m starting to trust myself again, set boundaries, and feel hopeful about what comes next. I still have hard days, but now I know I don’t have to face them alone.”

    - Female Client, STV Program

  • "Being part of a group reminds me that I don’t have to go through things alone. Everyone has different experiences, but we can support and learn from each other. When we work together and encourage one another, challenges can feel easier. For me, group mentality means feeling connected, supported, and moving forward together."
