Fees & Booking
Free Initial Consultation
Choosing a counsellor that you feel comfortable with is often a matter of personal choice. To help you in making this important decision, a free initial consultation gives us the chance to meet and find out if working together may be the right fit for you. (Please note that we will not be doing any counselling during the free initial consultation. It will merely give us a chance to meet and discuss your counselling needs.)
Counselling Sessions
If you feel comfortable enough to begin working together, or if you simply wish to begin working together right away, you are welcome to book a full counselling session. Rates are listed below.
Fees
Sliding Scale
If you are a student, unemployed, low income or in financial need, we may be able to offer a sliding scale upon request. Our sliding scale is $110-140 for individual sessions and $120-160 for couples/family sessions (pay what you can). Please feel free to contact us with any questions or for more information at: info@safespacecounselling.ca
Payment Method: Credit card is currently the preferred method during the pandemic. Interac e-Transfer is also available as a contactless method. Preauthorized billing is available for your convenience.
Cancellation: At least 24-hour notice required.
Will insurance cover my sessions?
If you wish to claim our counselling sessions, please check with your insurance provider that your insurance plan covers services provided by a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). A receipt is provided following each session, which you can submit with your insurance claim (direct billing is currently not available).
