Therapy for Self-Harm
You might be here because you or someone you care about is harming themselves.
​
Self-harm includes causing intentional physical pain such as cutting or burning or other behaviours to manage inner distress. Intense emotions can be challenging when you don’t know how to cope without the use of self-harm, making the thought of stopping even harder.
​
It’s not easy to reach out for help when you’re struggling with feelings of shame, guilt, or embarrassment associated with self-harm. You might worry to be misunderstood or judged for how you cope, even when seeking therapy.
If you’re ready to:
​
-Address the constant inner battle between wanting to stop and feeling dependent on self-harm as a coping mechanism.
​
-No longer feel isolated or alone in your experience.
​
-Address the cycle of self-harm and want a safe, effective way to explore what’s going on.
​
-Establish tools to cope with stress and emotions in healthier ways.
​
-Enter a non-judgmental space that offers understanding and support.
​
-Work with a therapist who understands self-harm does not always mean someone is attention-seeking or suicidal.
