How is low cost counselling different?
Here’s how it works:
With our low-cost therapy option, you're in caring, competent hands.
Low cost counselling is for you if you want:
A therapist you can connect with
To commit to regular therapy without the stress of going into debt or making other financial sacrifices
To feel valued and attended to
Regular and quality help
A therapist who has life experience and gets you
Counselling – whether traditional or low-cost – is beneficial because:
-
It is a safe environment to talk about anything that's on your mind
-
Helping you become more in control of your feelings
-
Helping you cope better with the stresses of everyday life
-
Counselling is available for a wise range of issues
-
You often put everyone else's needs above your own, but taking care of your own mental health is important

Frequently Asked Questions
Our rates start at $60 per 50 minute session. Lower sliding scale rates are available.
Unfortunately, low cost counselling sessions cannot be claimed on extended health benefits, as the benefits providers require a licensed professional to provide the services in order to be reimbursed.
Absolutely! This is a great way to continue working on yourself without the financial strain. If you decide to switch to seeing a student once your benefits run out, you can expect that your regular therapist will offer a full debriefing to the intern in order to help bridge to the new practitioner.
That’s a great question, and certainly one that many people wonder about prior to booking in with a student. All of our students receive ongoing, extensive supervision and consultation from our seasoned supervision team while practising at our clinic. We are also very particular about who we accept for a practicum, and tend to favour students who are mature, grounded, and have an abundance of relevant life experience and professional experience.
An intern has completed their Masters degree and is in the process of accumulating the necessary clinical hours needed for registration with a professional association/regulatory body. A practicum student has completed all of the academic requirements for their Masters degree, and is solely focused on gaining direct counselling experience. Both receive extensive training, supervision and consultation while at our clinic.
At our clinic, we have the same policy for students as we do for our regular clinical team. If you start seeing any of our counsellors, student or otherwise, and it is not a good fit, you can contact us to let us know, and we will recommend other possibilities on our team or elsewhere.
