During a counselling session, individuals and couples can discuss private matters in their lives that are concerning or bothersome in a confidential setting. Unlike speaking with a close friend or family, a counsellor provides an unbiased perspective and has the skills and training to support you in developing new coping skills, making lasting behavioral changes, and gaining insight into your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you. Successful counselling results in improvements in mental health and wellness and increased satisfaction in life.
Establishing Attainable Goals
Counselling is collaborative and your therapist will help you to identify attainable goals so that you have measurable outcomes. Your counsellor will also track your goal progress and help guide you when obstacles arise. Counselling approaches and intervention techniques can be dynamic and flexible, and often include problem-solving, behavioural modifications (e.g., activity scheduling), relaxation techniques, role playing, and other approaches. You may also want your counsellor to collaborate with the other health professionals in your life to take a holistic approach to wellness.
It is important that your counsellor is a good fit so that you feel safe, comfortable, and free to express yourself on your path to wellness. We encourage you to touch base with a Clinical Counsellor for a free, 15-minute consultation to see if the counsellor is the right fit for you.
Some third-party payment plans such as Extended Health Care Insurance and Employee/Family Assistance Programs may pay partial or total coverage for counselling services. For privacy issues, we cannot directly bill these plans, however, you can manually submit for reimbursement.
