age

Kayla works with youth, young adults, and adults starting at age fourteen years old and up. If you are looking for counselling for your child aged 5-13 please contact Kayla to inquire.

your first session

For many people, attending counselling for the first  time might be accompanied by a host of questions and uncertainty. Kayla works with her clients to describe what counselling can look like at the first session while highlighting how each client and counsellor relationship is inherently unique based on the needs of the client. At the first session, Kayla will explain two forms that need to be signed, the "Confidentially of Services" form and the "Fee Agreement" form. Clients are encouraged to ask any questions they might have about counselling during the first session and throughout the counselling process. 

cost and Payment options

A 50 minute individual counselling session is $150 plus GST and a 50 minute couples counselling session is $175 plus GST. Payment is due at the start of each session and can be made by exact cash, cheque, e-transfer, or credit card. 

80 minute EMDR sessions are $240 plus GST.

Group counselling rates are on a case by case basis. Please contact Kayla for more information. 

confidentuality 

Confidentiality is at the heart of counselling and enables an environment of trust between the counsellor and client. Kayla works within the ethical guidelines set forward by the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors to maintain client confidentiality. Please see the limits to confidentiality in the next section.
