FAQs

Everything you might want to know before your first session.

Do I need a referral?

No, you can book directly. Some private insurance plans may require a physician’s note for reimbursement, so it’s worth checking the details of your plan.

What happens in my first session?

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s brought you here, what you’d like to work on, and how therapy can best support you moving forward.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. In-person sessions let us connect through both verbal and non-verbal cues, while secure, confidential online appointments offer the comfort, privacy, and flexibility of meeting from home.

Is everything confidential?

Absolutely. What you share in sessions stays private, unless there are serious concerns about your safety or the safety of others.

Can I claim sessions through my insurance?

Many private and employer health plans in Nova Scotia cover counselling services provided by a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). Coverage varies by plan, so check with your provider. Receipts are available for reimbursement.

How long is each session?

Sessions run for about 50 minutes. How often we meet depends on your needs and goals, and we’ll decide together.

What’s your cancellation policy?

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, as this time is set aside just for you. Late cancellations may incur a fee.

Do you offer any other services?

Yes. I am available for speaking engagements and consultation services, as well as partnerships that offer psychological assessment reviews.

How do I know if you’re the right fit for me?

Finding the right therapist is important. You’re welcome to book an initial consultation to see if my approach feels right. If not, I’m happy to recommend other professionals who might suit your needs.
