Our Counselling Services

Counselling is a critical part of healing from the trauma of violence. Our team of professionals work with both adults and children. They help to process the trauma, manage change, deal with depression and anxiety, cope with stress, and build resilience.

Counselling offers a non-judgmental, confidential space for people to express and explore their complex feelings, fears, and confusion. For children, it is especially important as it helps them learn about healthy and unhealthy relationships, can help them learn about their emotions, and develop better communication and problem-solving skills.

80%

of the children (ages 6-9) who worked with our mental health clinicians or case managers reported that their attention problems had improved

Of the mothers who receive counselling services from Discovery House, the majority report an improvement in their anxiety and stress, and a third report an improvement in depression symptoms.
