Let’s Connect

Every client has unique needs and therefore there is no one set approach to a counselling session. However, in most individual counselling sessions, you meet one-on-one with me, a trained psychotherapist or counsellor, in a private and confidential setting. The session typically lasts around 50 minutes. During the session, you have the opportunity to discuss your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and challenges with me. I actively listen, provides empathy, and ask pertinent questions to gain a deeper understanding of your concerns, goals and obstacles.

Your counselling process may involve various therapeutic techniques and approaches, depending on the your specific needs. My goal is to help you explore your emotions, behaviours, and thought patterns, aiming to identify underlying issues and patterns contributing to your struggles. Together, we work on setting goals and developing strategies to address the challenges and promote positive changes in your life.

Giving an exact amount of time that you may need to attend counselling is difficult because several factors can influence the duration of therapy and the progress you make. Each individual's experiences, challenges, and responses to therapy are unique, making it challenging to predict precisely how long the therapeutic process will take.

Given the complexities associated with addressing mental health concerns, I will be sure to evaluate your progress regularly and collaboratively with you. I continuously reassess your treatment plan and adjust the therapeutic interventions that I use based on your needs, ensuring that the counseling process remains relevant and effective.

While some clients may find relief and achieve their goals in a few sessions, others may benefit from more extended periods of counselling to achieve lasting changes and growth. Ultimately, the focus in counselling is on meeting your needs and facilitating positive outcomes, rather than adhering to a rigid timeframe.

My rate is $150 +hst / 50 minute session.

I do not offer direct billing to third parties. When you attend a session with me I will provide you with a detailed invoice that you may submit to your benefits provider for reimbursement. I encourage each client to check their coverage before booking a session to ensure that they are covered for my services.

Life happens and sometimes we find ourselves in unavoidable situations. I understand and am committed to working with you to ensure that you receive the support you need. If you are unable to make an appointment I ask that you provide me with 24 hours notice otherwise you will be charged for the full session. Additionally, if you are more then 20 minutes late for your appointment I may no longer be available to do your session and this will be considered a missed appointment and you will be charged the full session rate ($150+hst).

I work with individuals age 13+! If you are a student studying at the University of Guelph, University of Waterloo, or Laurier University my services are covered under your health benefits! Please check your school’s website for your specific coverage information.
