2026 Counselling Rates

Session lengths may vary depending on your needs and the type of counselling support being provided.

Payment Information

Payment is due at the time of your counselling appointment. A valid credit card is required to be kept securely on file unless alternative arrangements have been discussed in advance.

Cancellation Policy

We require a minimum of 24 business hours’ notice for cancellations or appointment changes. Providing notice allows us to offer the appointment time to other clients seeking counselling services and supports consistent scheduling for your therapist.

Appointments cancelled with less than 24 business hours’ notice, or missed appointments, will be charged the full session fee. Outstanding balances must be paid prior to booking future therapy sessions.

To ensure accurate documentation, cancellations must be submitted by email directly to your therapist. Cancellations left by phone or voicemail cannot be accepted.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this policy as it helps us maintain accessible and reliable counselling services for all clients.

Extended Health Benefits & Insurance Coverage

Many extended health insurance plans may provide full or partial coverage for counselling services. Coverage depends on your individual provider and benefits plan.

Clients are encouraged to contact their insurance provider directly to confirm eligibility for services provided under the designations:

  • Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT-C)
