In-Person Counselling
I offer a warm and comfortable environment for you to care for your grief. What you can expect in your first appointment of 1.5 hours. First, we review your understanding of my policies, processes, fees and clarify any questions you may have.
The main portion of the session I learn about the concerns that bring you to me, we discuss and set goal(s) to care for aspects of your grief or loss that are raised by you as currently problematic, I suggest possible treatment (traditional, holistic and energy based) options as to how to ease/improve your grief. This is based on the information you have shared with me. The final 15 mins is review of your session experience, review and agreement on a flexible treatment plan, arrange home-practice activities-discuss next session structure, schedule your next appointment. Payment will be done through the Janeapp in which you will have already entered demographic information and provided a credit card number. All sessions will charge your credit card after the session has been completed.
Subsequent sessions are 75 mins in length. Review home-practice activities, any new issues wishing to be addressed, check on progress to preferred goal or outcome, review session set home-practice and self-care activities and conclude with payment.
Online Counselling
Online service is offered to Adult Albertans 18 years of age and older. Sessions are structured the same as In-person for first session and subsequent session length. Please note rate for first session fee is higher than subsequent sessions due to the extended length (see Fees page for current rates)
Walk and Talk Counselling
I had offered this new service to meet the needs of clients during the pandemic. I continue to offer Walk and Talk counselling as a form of counselling while walking in the outdoors in public spaces instead of traditional office setting. Walk and Talk sessions can be available intermittently or regularly. Some people feel uncomfortable with face to face contact and find walk and talk helpful as the counsellor walks alongside them and there are plenty of things in the environment to focus on.
My sessions are currently held through the summer months June-Sept and are held in Fish Creek Park near my office location. Walking in nature is proven to regulate our nervous system and have a natural soothing effect. Walk and Talk counselling for grief is a wonderful way to teach us to honor our grief and to let go of pain, tension and guilt with the natural flow and movement of being in the elements.
