Sessions are typically 50 minutes in duration. Occasionally an extended session may be recommended.

In our first meeting, the goal is to get to know each other better. You’ll be able to share more detail about what has brought you into the counselling space and what you hope to gain from our sessions. We’ll also collaborate on what to expect for future sessions.

Our goal is to create a space that is collaborative, non-judgemental, creative, and safe for the process of healing and change.

Each person is unique, it’s challenging to estimate the number of sessions from the outset. We’ll be able to determine the frequency of appointments to suit your needs after our first meeting. Typically clients come once a week or once every two weeks.

Anything that is discussed within our virtual counselling sessions will be kept in confidence even after our counselling relationship ends. However, there are circumstances in which I am legally and/or ethically obligated to break confidentiality. The circumstances are:

• Informing Child Protective Services if there is a suspicion of a child being at risk or in need of protection due to neglect, or physical, sexual, or emotional abuse

• Releasing a client’s file if the court orders to do so

• Informing an appropriate family member, health care professional, or police if necessary of a client’s intention to end his or her own life

• Informing a potential victim of violence of a client’s intention to harm

If confidentiality needs to be broken you will be informed beforehand. To ensure the integrity of our counselling relationship confidentiality can be addressed at any point during the counselling process.
