What happens in the first session?

Leigh-Ann will welcome you to counselling and the parameters of this work will be reviewed as well as a through intake and assessment of your file and the discussion of goals will be reviewed.  Tools and strategies may be reviewed in session as well as next steps for the client.

What will each session look like? What if I want EMDR or talk therapy?

Each session will provide the client an opportunity to decide on how to best use the time that supports them.  EMDR is always available to clients and the session will focus on what best supports the client in that session, whether EMDR, mindfulness, CBT or talk therapy.

How do I pay for sessions?

The client may use cash or e-transfer for their sessions which are due at the end of the session.

How many sessions do I need?

This can be decided by your clinician and yourself as there is no set determined frequency and schedule for counselling.  However, your clinician will advise if a weekly session is advised as based on your current health and safety and/or if you are in crises.
