FAQ
Can I meet you before starting a package?
Definitely. Before beginning a package, you can book a free 30-minute consultation to get a sense of what working with me would be like, or to raise any questions about the package.
Do I need to start with one of these packages to begin counselling?
No, these packages are not required to begin counselling at my clinic, they are simply designed to offer a more structured approach for those who prefer that.
Am I required to complete all sessions once I start?
There is no obligation to complete all sessions once you begin.
Do I need to pay for a package upfront?
No, packages are pay-as-you-go. Clients can pay after each session by credit card or e-transfer
Do I need to schedule all sessions at once, or complete them within a certain time frame?
You can start by scheduling your first session. During your first session we can schedule the remaining sessions either all at once or one at a time, based on your preferences. That said, some clients prefer booking all of the sessions ahead to give themselves an early boost of commitment.
*To create a sense of consistency and stability, I encourage clients to book on a weekly or biweekly basis, but this is not a requirement.
What happens after the package ends?
In your last session we will work together to decide how to move forward.
