Frequently asked questions about counselling

  • How much does counselling cost?

    As a non-profit organization, we are committed to providing accessible services to the community. The vast majority of our services are offered at no cost. The only exceptions are certain private-pay counselling services and specialized workshops. 


    We are dedicated to ensuring that cost does not prevent anyone from accessing the support they need. Please contact us if you have any questions or need assistance.

  • What can I expect from counselling?

    You will meet with a counsellor for 50 minutes – 1 hour. While you will get to know each other during that time, the work of counselling will begin. In the first session, your counsellor will work with you on determining goals.


    Changes that happen in counselling may include decisions you make, new habits, new ways of thinking, techniques to assist you in coping, different ways of relating to others, intentions and practices to help you heal from traumatic experiences. The focus is yours to determine.


    Sometimes counselling lasts one or two sessions to solve a problem or concern and provide you with some confidence to make bigger changes youd like. Sometimes the counselling work can be a longer process. As an organization we believe in feedback and will be checking in with you to ensure you’re seeing the change that you want to see. We’re not just a listening ear.

  • How do I know if counselling will help me?

  • What age does my child need to be to attend counselling?

    Children 5 or older can attend counselling but we recommend parents attend and come up with a plan collaboratively with their counsellor to see whether counselling is the best fit for your child.


    Since much of what happens during counselling has to be practiced outside of the counselling room, parents are important to continue to practice skills along with their children.  We understand that sometimes children under 5 experience challenges.  In these cases we often suggest parents attend counselling in order to look at ways they can support their little ones outside the counselling room.
