Frequently asked questions
What are the fees for your counselling service?
My Fee is $150 per 50-minute session and $230 for 75 minutes, following fee guidelines set out by the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC)
Cancellation Policy
When cancelling a service, we require atleast 48hrs notice. Less than 48hours notice will incur a full session fee unless extraordinary circumstances are discussed with me. I am happy to work with you to reschedule and provide options.
Do you provide Direct Billing?
At this time, I do not provide direct billing. I will provide you with receipts after sessions and you can submit them for reimbursement directly with your health benefits provider using my license number.
Many benefit plans cover the cost of RCC’s, including Pacific Blue Cross, Manulife, Greenshield, Medavie, ect. Feel free to discuss with me, but its also a good idea to review your provider’s stipulations first.
Are you a Vail Preferred Provider?
Yes I am! As an approved “preferred” provider, you get 6 free sessions covered by Vail Wellness. You can reach out directly to me without having to get permission from Vail/ Mines & Associates. Get in touch if you want to know more.
What can I expect in my first therapy session?
During your initial session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, some personal history, and your current concerns. This helps build a foundation for your treatment plan and allows you to start establishing a trusting relationship.
How long does therapy usually last?
The length of therapy varies depending on individual needs. Some clients may benefit from short-term therapy lasting a few sessions, while others might engage in longer-term work that extends over months or years.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. What you share with your counsellor stays private, except in cases where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or as required by law.
How often will I attend sessions?
Most clients meet with their therapist weekly or biweekly, but frequency can be adjusted based on your goals and schedule.
What types of therapy do you offer?
At Wild Rose Counselling, my counselling approach is person-centred, relational and somatic, and trauma-informed. The modalities I draw from include:
Advanced Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Psychodynamic & Control Mastery Theory
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
Solutions Focused-Therapy
Somatic & Mindfullness based therapy
How do I know if therapy is working?
Progress is often gradual, but you may notice reduced stress or dysregulation, improved coping skills, and greater self-awareness. Your therapist will regularly check in on your goals and adjust treatment as needed.
