Why is the consultation important?
The goal of the free 15-minute online consultation chat has two components.
The first is to go over a few housekeeping rules, including confidentiality and its limits, and my cancellation policy.
Secondly, it is an opportunity for you to share a bit about what brings you to counselling and what you hope to achieve. I will also share my therapeutic approach and answer any questions you may have, so we can both determine if we would be a good fit to work together.
However, if you would like to skip this and book an appointment, I can go over these details at your first appointment.
What is the first session like, and how many do I need?
Your first session is about getting to know each other and exploring your reasons for wanting counselling. We will discuss your hopes and goals and work out a plan to best support you.
I recommend 4 weekly sessions, then switch to 4 bimonthly sessions. If you would like a more fluid plan, you are encouraged to book when you are feeling the need for guidance and extra support in your life. The priority is you and what makes sense to you.

I am registered with BCACC, and many plans support the use of Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC # 25838). After each session, you will receive an invoice with the appropriate information for submitting a claim to your extended Health for reimbursement.
