Sexual Trauma Counselling in Vancouver
A place to explore the impact of sexual trauma with choice, compassion and care. Sexual trauma counselling in Vancouver and online.
Allura Sex Therapy Centre
A collective of independent counsellors.
You choose where to begin.
The impact of sexual trauma can show up in many ways. You might feel on edge, disconnected from your body, unsure about boundaries, or uncomfortable with closeness. You may be trying to understand something recent or something that happened a long time ago. Your experience does not need to look a particular way to deserve support.
Counselling offers space to understand those experiences and how they affect your day to day life, relationships and sexuality. You can begin with what feels most useful now, such as feeling more grounded, understanding reactions or finding words for a boundary. You do not have to start by telling the whole story.
Members of the Allura collective bring different training and approaches to trauma work. The counsellors below specifically identify sexual trauma or childhood sexual abuse among their directory areas of support. Their profiles can help you explore who might feel like a suitable person to work with.

Your questions, welcome.
You can ask about fit, fees and availability before deciding on next steps.
Do I have to describe what happened straight away?
You can ask about support without describing the details of what happened. Your counsellor can discuss how to begin, what you would like help with, and how to approach difficult material at a pace you agree on together.
Can we focus on intimacy and relationships?
Yes. You can ask for support with how trauma is affecting trust, boundaries, desire or closeness. Let your counsellor know what feels most relevant to you so you can discuss suitable goals.
How do I find a counsellor with the right approach?
Read the training and approaches in each profile and ask about experience relevant to your needs. Counsellors use different methods, and your preferences can be part of the discussion about fit.
Can I attend online?
Online sessions are offered by counsellors in our collective. Ask about whether virtual work is suitable for your needs and location, and what privacy and support arrangements would help you attend comfortably.
