​

WHO WE WORK WITH

We work with anyone who is 18 years or older. We have experience and an excellent track record working with young adults, men, women, and couples. 

​

AVAILABILITY AND SCHEDULING

My practice is dedicated to providing personalized care for select clients. We recommend booking your sessions in advance so that you have a consistent schedule for your counselling, which has been linked to counselling effectiveness.  

​

COUNSELLING DURATION

​The number of sessions you need will depend on the focus of your counselling. For less complex issues, we recommend 5 sessions. For more chronic or more challenging matters, such as clinical depression, anxiety, or social anxiety, we recommend dedicating 10 to 20 sessions of your time on a weekly or biweekly basis.

​

Once the goal has been accomplished, we often transition clients to as-needed counselling.

​

For couples, we recommend at least 5 sessions for fine-tuning and 10 sessions for dealing with significant marital distress. 

​

COUNSELLING FREQUENCY

We recommend investing more time and coming weekly or bi-weekly at the beginning of the counselling engagement, as it generates the momentum that has been linked to increased effectiveness.

Counselling needs to work for you, and therefore, it should match your needs and availability. We will provide recommendations for cadence and number of sessions, but it is up to you to decide the best schedule.

​

PAYMENT AND INSURANCE

Kate is a Master's Graduate Counsellor awaiting her RCC registration. The majority of extended benefits plans cover the services of registered counsellors.  You will be responsible for determining whether our services are covered and submitting any claims directly to your provider. My fees will remain the same post-registration.

​

We collect your credit card information during the first session, and you will be billed each time a session commences. A detailed receipt will be emailed to you immediately upon receipt of payment.

​

IN-PERSON and ONLINE COUNSELLING

We have witnessed a significant benefit to in-person versus virtual counselling. We recommend dedicating your first 5 sessions to in-person counselling, which allows us to establish a genuine connection before transitioning to a virtual format. 

​

CANCELLATION & NO-SHOW POLICY

If you are unable to attend a session, you must cancel or change it at least 48 hours before the scheduled time; otherwise, a full fee will be applied.
