Frequently asked questions
Your first session is a conversation about what brought you here, what has been happening and what you would like to be different. You do not need to prepare a speech or tell your whole life story. We begin with what matters most to you and develop a plan together. It is also an opportunity to ask questions and see whether working with me feels right.
That depends on what you are experiencing and what you want to accomplish. Some people come with a specific concern; others want to work through longstanding difficulties. We will discuss your goals, pay attention to what is changing and adjust as we go. As you make progress, we can consider meeting less often or bringing counselling to an end.
Many extended health plans cover services provided by a Registered Clinical Counsellor, but coverage varies. Check whether your plan covers an RCC and what limits apply. EAP sessions generally need authorization through your program, and I need to be registered with its network. If you are unsure, contact me with your provider’s name, and we can work through the next steps.
My office is in Walnut Grove at Suite 403, 21183 88 Avenue, Langley. I also offer online and telephone appointments for clients throughout British Columbia. If your sessions are funded through a benefits provider or another program, we can confirm whether any requirements apply to the appointment format.
