Each client's journey is unique and belongs to them. 


LIA is honoured to come together and walk alongside clients who've faced any form of intimate partner violence and gender-based violence.

 

Especially after experiences of violence it can be important to know that we offer a safe place where your voice, needs, and choices are respected. LIA is committed to providing client-centred, trauma-informed counselling where your experience, voice and choices are honoured.


LIA works collaboratively with each client and will respond to the needs and experiences that show up for you at each session and throughout your journey with us.


Some of our clients begin their journey with focusing attention on navigating present challenges they are facing in the present and their day to day experiences, focusing on increasing safety and their well-being in the present, connecting with but limiting time focused on past experiences.


Some of our clients will safely explore their past experiences more directly, reclaiming and re-authoring experiences in ways that support their healing and empowerment. 


Some clients will desire a blend of both or additional and other experiences and areas of focus. 


LIA is committed to honouring your dignity and your voice and walking alongside you.
