Counselling can give you a place to slow down, sort through what’s happening, and begin making changes that feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, overwhelm, people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional eating, menopause, difficult relationships, and the challenges that can come with being highly sensitive.
I offer in-person counselling in Victoria as well as secure video and telephone counselling throughout British Columbia.
Whether we meet in person or virtually, my approach is warm, practical, compassionate, and tailored to what you need.
In-Person Counselling in Victoria
I offer in-person counselling from my office in the Fairfield neighbourhood of Victoria, near Cook Street Village.
Some people simply prefer being in the same room with their therapist. Others appreciate having a quiet place away from home or work where they can focus entirely on themselves for an hour.
If that feels right for you, you’re very welcome to meet with me in person.
Virtual Counselling Across British Columbia
For many people, virtual counselling makes therapy much easier to fit into everyday life.
You may prefer meeting from the comfort of your own home, want to avoid travel time, or live elsewhere in British Columbia and still want to work with me.
I use a secure, encrypted video platform designed to protect your privacy.
Virtual counselling can be especially helpful if you:
- Live outside Victoria
- Have a busy or unpredictable schedule
- Find travelling to appointments stressful or inconvenient
- Feel more comfortable talking from your own space
- Want the flexibility to switch between in-person and virtual sessions when needed
Many of my local Victoria clients also choose video appointments from time to time simply because they’re more convenient.
Telephone Counselling
If video isn’t comfortable or practical for you, telephone counselling is also available.
Some clients actually find it easier to talk when they don’t have to be on camera. Others choose telephone sessions when travelling or when internet access is unreliable.
What Happens in a Session?
Sessions are 50 minutes long.
There’s no rigid formula for what we’ll do. Some sessions may involve understanding patterns in your thoughts, emotions, or relationships. Other times we may focus on practical tools, nervous-system regulation, self-compassion, boundaries, or simply making sense of something difficult that’s happening in your life.
You don’t need to arrive with an agenda or know exactly what you want to say.
We’ll start with what feels most important to you and work from there.
Fees
My fee is $195 for a 50-minute counselling session.
My services are covered by many extended health benefit plans. Coverage varies, so I recommend checking with your provider to confirm that your plan covers services provided by an RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor).
Payment is made directly to me. I’ll provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
Not Sure Whether We’d Be a Good Fit?
I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so we can briefly talk about what you’re looking for and whether working together feels like a good fit.
There’s no pressure to book a session afterward.
You’re welcome to call me at 778.265.6190 (please no text messages) or contact me through the website.
Evening appointments are available.
