Stopping the Violence therapy is for women who want to understand what has happened to them either as children or adults and to change learned patterns of behavior. Ann Davis Services offers counselling for women who have suffered any form of current or past abuse; emotional, physical, verbal, sexual, religious, psychological, financial or social.

We provide a safe environment where any aspect of abuse can be discussed in confidence.

Our goal is to help women understand themselves and to gain confidence in making choices.

Couples Counselling

We offer couple’s counselling as a preventive measure. We want to promote violence free relationships, which includes emotional and verbal violence as well.

Being a couple takes a lot of hard work! Dissatisfying intimate relationships can cause partners to become anxious, depressed, and increase communication problems.

Couple’s counselling offers both partners a chance to be heard and understood by each other, as well as learning tools in order to construct a healthier relationship. Couple’s counselling is a way to get professional guidance from a skilled therapist in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

We offer family therapy as a preventive measure.  We want to promote violence free relationships among family members.  It truly takes healthy families to make healthy communities.

Families are able to attend sessions and receive therapy for a variety of reasons, including wanting to improve communication, resolve conflict, and gain skills in respectful parenting and partnering.

If you are a family facing transitions such as changing from a two parent family to a single parent family or you are facing overwhelming changes in a blended family; you may benefit from family counselling and learn to meet the challenges by developing new skills and solutions.  We also offer family counselling for divorced/separated partners who are wanting to learn how to co-parent together respectfully.
