Betrayal Trauma Counselling
Walking with you on your healing journey.
Betrayal trauma occurs when the people or institutions on which a person depends for survival significantly violate that person's trust or well-being.
Childhood physical, emotional, or sexual abuse perpetrated by a caregiver are examples of betrayal trauma.
Betrayal trauma also exists for adults who have experienced betrayal in the form of infidelity, especially when a partner has porn and/or sex addiction.
Similarities exist between betrayal trauma and fear-based trauma with the physiological (body) responses.
There are two main differences in betrayal trauma.
In betrayal trauma, the very person one would go to for protection, safety, and love is the perpetrator of the trauma. Secondly, recidivism or repetition is very high in that the betrayal can repeatedly occur from the same perpetrator and other people within the survivor's circle
Professional Consultation
As a mental health professional and betrayal trauma specialist, I offer professional consultation for mental health practitioners and businesses seeking guidance, clarity, and enhanced confidence in supporting mental health within their teams and organizations. With a specialized focus on betrayal trauma and complex relational harm, these consultations support ethical practice, case formulation, and trauma-informed treatment planning.
For businesses and organizations, consultation services focus on strengthening workplace mental health capacity, supporting staff impacted by trauma, reducing burnout, and fostering psychologically safe environments through trauma-informed strategies and compassionate leadership practices.
Sessions are collaborative, reflective, and grounded in both research and lived experience, providing a safe space to deepen clinical insight, organizational resilience, and professional growth.
Coaching & Personal Development
Coaching is a forward-focused, strengths-based process designed to support personal insight, growth, and empowerment. It centre's on present awareness and future goals, helping individuals move toward greater clarity, confidence, and purposeful change.
As a coach, I work collaboratively with clients to identify patterns, strengthen self-trust, clarify values, and create practical steps toward meaningful outcomes. Coaching can support personal development, boundary-setting, life transitions, relationship empowerment, and the process of reclaiming one’s voice following relational harm or life disruption.
This work offers a supportive and reflective space for those who are ready to deepen self-awareness, build resilience, and move forward with intention, agency, and renewed sense of self-direction.
