Janice Selbie
Master Practitioner Clinical Counsellor
Janice Selbie is a trailblazer in the field of religious trauma recovery, bringing a unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise to her work. A former fundamentalist Christian, Janice experienced the profound challenges of leaving behind religious indoctrination, navigating the complexities of deconstruction, and rediscovering her identity outside of faith. This deeply personal journey inspired her to become a Registered Professional Counsellor (RPC) - now with her MPCC - specializing in helping others heal from the emotional and psychological impact of high-control religion.
In addition to her work as a counselor and educator, Janice is a best-selling author. Her book, Divorcing Religion: A Memoir and Survival Handbook, combines candid storytelling with practical tools to support others on their journey to freedom and healing. She also hosts the popular Divorcing Religion Podcast, where she engages in thoughtful conversations with guests on topics related to deconstruction, mental health, and post-religious life.
Janice’s work is rooted in compassion, resilience, and a commitment to helping others reclaim their autonomy and thrive.
