Here are some of the most common questions I receive from new and potential clients. But please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly if you need more information.
As a clinical counsellor, I specialize in a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, grief, and more. I tailor my approach to address your specific needs and concerns.
What can I expect during a counselling session?
Counselling sessions typically involve open and confidential discussions where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Together, we'll work collaboratively to identify goals and develop strategies for positive change.
How long does therapy typically last?
The duration of therapy varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some clients may find relief in just a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term support. We will regularly review your progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
Is counselling confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of counselling. Your privacy is of utmost importance, and your sessions will be kept confidential within the limits of the law. Exceptions to confidentiality may include situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others.
Do you prescribe medication?
As a clinical counsellor, I do not prescribe medication. However, I can work collaboratively with psychiatrists or other healthcare providers if medication management is deemed necessary as part of your treatment plan.
How much does counselling cost? Do you accept insurance?
Counselling fees vary depending on the type of service and duration of sessions. I offer a range of payment options and may accept insurance. Many benefits plans cover Registered Clinical Counselling Services so please check with your benefits provider to see if you are eligible for coverage.
What if I'm not sure if counselling is right for me?
It's common to have doubts or concerns about starting counselling. I offer a complimentary consultation where we can discuss your needs, goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. This can help you determine if counselling is the right choice for you.
How do I schedule an appointment?
Scheduling an appointment is easy. You can contact me via phone, email, or through the website's appointment request form. I'll work with you to find a convenient time for your initial session.
