Welcome to Her Time: A Safe Space for Healing and Reclaiming Your True Self
At Her Time, we provide compassionate counselling and therapeutic support for women navigating the experiences of:
• Domestic and family violence and relationship stressors
• Relational trauma often experienced from childhood experiences of abuse
• Anxiety, depression, anger, resentment, loneliness, and low self-worth
• Grief, loss, and major life transitions
Our trauma-informed services are designed to empower you to rebuild and reclaim your sense of self in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
Understanding Trauma and Abuse
Abuse comes in many forms—emotional, psychological, social, spiritual, financial, verbal, physical, or sexual. Abuse is also experienced in the home, in relationships (both intimate personal and in friendships ) and in the workplace.
Whether you’ve experienced gaslighting, intimidation, manipulation, physical violence, isolation, emotional abuse, post separation abuse, or coercive control; your feelings are valid and your experience matters. In the words of Gabor Mate, Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you but how it has impacted your emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
At Her Time, we prioritise safety and healing by:
• Offering tools and understanding to help alleviate distress and manage triggers or awakened memories that can be as a result of (Complex) Post Traumatic Stress Responses and/or relational, shock and betrayal traumas.
• Helping you build resilience without revisiting painful memories unless you’re ready.
• Focusing on trust, self-understanding, and reclaiming your self-worth.
Abuse and violence are never the fault of the victim.
How you have coped with your experiences of abuse, which may include lashing out, self harm, drug and alcohol over use, risk taking behaviours, feeling crazy or hopeless, isolation and depression or anxiousness and fear, what you would like support with is absolutely your journey to define. There is completely no judgement at Her Time.
Understanding Relationships and the Importance of Individual Growth
Relationships—whether familial, intimate, or friendships—often require effort and self-reflection to thrive. They don’t have to be abusive to present challenges. Healthy relationships demand understanding, communication, and compromise. However, unresolved personal issues such as father or mother wounds, conflicting values, unmet expectations, poor communication skills, and deeply ingrained generational beliefs or traumas can significantly impact our interactions with others.
Addressing these personal challenges is a crucial step in fostering healthier relationships. Often, individuals bring unresolved emotional distresses into their relationships, which can create tension and misunderstandings. Engaging in individual therapy allows for self-exploration, helping to identify personal triggers, patterns, and needs. This self-awareness creates a solid foundation for healthier interactions and paves the way for more productive couples counseling if needed.
When Couples Counseling is Not Recommended
While couples counseling can be beneficial in addressing relational difficulties, it is not suitable for every situation. Relationships characterized by fear, control, or an imbalance of power should not pursue couples counseling. In cases where one partner seeks to dominate or control the other, the fundamental principles of safety and mutual respect are compromised. Couples counseling in such situations may inadvertently reinforce unhealthy power dynamics and place the more vulnerable partner at greater risk.
Instead, it is essential for individuals in such relationships to seek support through individual therapy, where they can explore their experiences, gain clarity, and receive guidance on how to navigate their circumstances safely. Support services, including advocacy, safety planning, and community resources, may also be beneficial for those experiencing coercive control or abuse.
If you’re struggling with relational challenges, whether within your family, intimate relationships, or friendships, working on yourself is the first step. Understanding your personal history, communication style, and emotional needs empowers you to engage more effectively with others and build relationships based on mutual respect and understanding. Seeking professional support can help you unpack complex emotions, set healthy boundaries, and create meaningful connections that align with your values and well-being.
