Registered Clinical Counsellors are professional counsellors who are registered with and accountable to the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). The BCACC meets the strictest academic and professional qualification standards and all RCC’s are required to adhere to a code of ethical conduct. All RCC’s have also fulfilled the Association’s rigorous requirements with respect to education, supervision, and clinical experience. For more information feel free to visit the BCACC website HERE.

As a counsellor in private practice, my confidentiality policy is in line with the industry standard. The bottom line is, everything we talk about will stay confidential between you and your counsellor. The only reason we would need to break confidentiality is if:

You were to tell your counsellor of a child or vulnerable adult being subjected to abuse or neglect.
You were to disclose an immediate intention to end your life or the life of another person.
If you’re involved in a legal matter and the court subpoenas your file.

Cancellation is 48 hours.

One full business day, meaning the day before your scheduled appointment, must be given for the cancellation of all appointments. If not, the full session fee will be charged. Your session is reserved exclusively for you and is thus not available to others.

Sessions are often covered by extended health care plans.  Please contact your service provider for more information.

48 hours’ notice is required for any cancellations. Should an appointment be missed or canceled without due notice, you may be charged.

Most employers typically provide some form of insurance coverage for counselling and therapy, either indirectly through insurance plans (i.e. Pacific Blue Cross), or directly through the provision of specified funds for counselling purposes through an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Counselling is not covered through MSP.

To determine if you have extended health coverage, the first thing you should do is check with your insurance carrier. Check your coverage carefully and find the answers to the following questions:

What are my counselling benefits with a registered counsellor?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
How many therapy sessions does my plan cover per year?
Payment for counselling sessions is required at the time of each session. If you have insurance coverage, you will be reimbursed for your therapy sessions by your insurance provider.
