FAQ

My counselling approach? Values the therapeutic relationship between you and I, primarily through the following theories and modalities: person-centered, attachment, relational cultural, and emotion focused therapy. My aim is for us to build an effective relationship that prioritizes your wellbeing. Every counsellor-client relationship is different which is why I meet you where you are at, highlight your strengths, and collaborate on our plan for our work.

What to expect in counselling? As a counsellor I am trained to support individuals by improving and maintaining their mental health and wellbeing. This will look, sound, and feel different with every client, but overall building trust, safety, empathy, and acceptance are vital to the process.

What do counsellors do? Counsellors engage in the active assessment and treatment of cognitive, behavioural, emotional, and relational distress and disorders. We do this through a caring and empathic relationship guided by the ethics of the professional organizations that we are members of and evidence-based practice. As a counsellor, I cannot diagnose or prescribe.

My areas of focus include: Anxiety (worries), depression (sadness), trauma, realtionship issues, shame, anger, lonliness, parenting support, self-awareness, and emapthy.

How can we meet? Currently, I meet with clients from BC through a secure virtual counselling platform.

Cost? Individual sessions are $130 for 50 minutes. Relationship counselling with a partner, friend, or family member is $160. Sliding scale may be available, feel free to check in with me about this option. I am a registered clinical counsellor (RCC) with the BCACC and so my services are likely covered by insurance. Please check with your insurance provider to verify whether our sessions will be covered.
