FEES
Individual counselling 65 minutes $120.00 +H.S.T.
Individual counselling 90 minutes $150.00 +H.S.T.
Couples Counselling 90 minutes $150.00 +H.S.T.
As compared to the usual “50 minute” counselling session, I provide a full 60 minutes plus additional 5 minutes to make payment and book your next session.
Some individuals find it more helpful to work with sessions that are 90, or 120 minutes in length. I am happy to negotiate this and adjust the fee accordingly.
PAYMENT METHODS
Cash or cheque
I require payment at the end of each session. I will provide an official receipt with my Registered Clinical Counsellor’s number.
HEALTH PLANS
This receipt may be remitted to some insurance companies for reimbursement. I recommend calling your plan provider to ensure coverage and any annual dollar limits, as it has been my experience that the print material provided to plan members is often incomplete.
You may be able to report counselling fees on your tax return. Please check with your accountant.
REPORTS & LETTERS
The fees for written reports and letters is charged according to the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors fee guide
CANCELLATIONS/MISSED APPOINTMENTS
I require full 24 hour notification of cancellation of appointments.
Notification of less than 24 hours is deemed a $50.00 charge.
No advance notice of cancellation is charged the full session fee.
Consideration will be given for extra ordinary circumstances.
Please call ahead if you cannot keep your appointment so that space can be offered to someone else.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Everything discussed and all written records and notes regarding counselling sessions are completely confidential except there are 3 important exclusions:
- Child welfare concerns
- Imminent self-harm or danger to others
- Subpoena or court order
