Frequently Asked Questions
Therapy will look different for everyone and depends on many variables, such as your specific goals, the issues you may be struggling with and the therapeutic approach that your counsellor works from. Typically, the first few sessions focus on learning more about you and starting to build the therapeutic relationship. From there, we can move forward in the therapeutic process which can include building a new relationship with your emotions, processing past experiences and developing new resources.
To get a better idea of what therapy would look like for you, book a complimentary 15-minute consultation for us to connect. I offer in-person therapy in South Surrey and online throughout BC. I look forward to hearing from you!
The idea that therapy is only needed when we are in crisis is a common misconception. Therapy can be beneficial for anyone at any point in their life. Whether you're wanting support with a specific issue, wanting to learn more about yourself, improve relationships or just navigating life in general. Therapy can help support you in your growth and self-discovery and can help you gain a stronger foundation in yourself.
48-hour notice is required when rescheduling or cancelling an upcoming session. Cancelling with at least 48 hours notice allows your spot to go to another client. If less than 48 hours notice is given, the total cost of the session is due in full.
Yes! Many insurance companies cover counselling services by professionals holding either the RCC or CCC designation. All Portree therapists currently hold an RCC designation. Spencer also holds a CCC designation. If you plan on using insurance, it is important to check whether it covers a counsellor with either an RCC or CCC designation. This means that we can now provide direct billing (dependant on the provider) to your insurance.
A therapeutic relationship begins only after an initial consultation and a signed agreement. Submitting an inquiry or contacting us does not create a therapeutic relationship.
