How Does Payment for Phone/Video Counselling Work?

Each phone counselling session must be paid at the start of the appointment time.  Payment can be made by interac e-transfer. 

Will My Extended Health Benefits Cover the Cost of Counselling?

While your BC Medical Services Plan will not cover the cost of counselling, many health benefit plans will. We recommend that you contact your extended health benefit provider to confirm that counselling services provided by a Canadian Certified Counsellor or a Registered Clinical Counsellor are covered. 

 

Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP)

We are registered counsellors with the CVAP. If you or an immediate family member has been a victim of violence, or have been a target or witness of a crime, you may qualify for funding to help cover your costs of counselling. If you are not sure if you've been a victim to a crime, you may call VictimLink BC at 1-800-563-0808.

Cancellation Policy

Notice of 24 hours is required to cancel an appointment.

Providing less than 24 hours notice to cancel your appointment will result in being charged the full session time that you missed.

 

 

Specific time is set aside for each appointment. This includes time to prepare for your session, and the actual office time itself. When no notice or late notice to cancel an appointment is provided, not only does it take away a potential appointment time from others, but it also takes away preparation and research time that could have be used to help someone else.
