Frequently asked questions.

Counselling is for anyone looking for support, clarity, or growth. Whether you’re facing specific challenges or simply want to better understand yourself, it’s a safe space to work through whatever is on your mind.

I use a variety of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Inner Child Therapy. Together, we’ll decide which methods work best for you and your goals.

The length of counselling varies depending on your goals and needs. Some people find a few sessions helpful, while others prefer ongoing support for deeper, long-term growth. I offer 50-minute sessions to start with.

It’s normal to feel nervous! The first session is designed to help you feel comfortable. We’ll go at your pace, and you’re always in control of what you choose to share.

Yes, counselling is confidential. The only exceptions involve safety concerns, such as harm to yourself or others, which I’ll explain in more detail during our first session

No preparation is needed! Just come as you are. If there’s anything specific you want to discuss, you’re welcome to share it, but it’s not required.

Many extended health insurance plans offer coverage for counselling services. It’s best to check with your provider to confirm your benefits, including whether they cover sessions with a registered counsellor. If needed, I can provide receipts for reimbursement via email.

While counselling provides support for ongoing challenges, it’s not designed for immediate crisis intervention. If you’re in crisis, please contact 911, a crisis hotline (988), or go to your nearest hospital for immediate support.
