Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and explore what brings you to counselling. We'll discuss your concerns, experiences, and goals, review confidentiality and its limits, and begin identifying how counselling may support you. There's no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with.

Yes! I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to help you explore whether counselling feels like the right fit. It's an opportunity to ask questions, briefly discuss your needs, and learn more about my approach before deciding to book a session.

Not at all. You don't need to have everything figured out before beginning. Some people come with specific concerns, while others may simply feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what they're experiencing. We can explore your thoughts and feelings together and gradually identify what feels most important to you.

Feeling comfortable, heard, and respected is an important part of the counselling relationship. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. A free 15-minute consultation can help you get a sense of my approach, ask questions, and decide whether working together feels right for you.

The length of counselling varies depending on your concerns, goals, and individual circumstances. Some people benefit from a few focused sessions, while others prefer longer-term support. We'll regularly review your progress and adjust the frequency and duration of sessions based on your needs and preferences.

Yes. Confidentiality is a fundamental part of counselling. Your personal information and what you share during sessions are kept private in accordance with professional and legal requirements. There are certain exceptions, such as situations involving serious safety concerns, legal obligations, or your informed authorization to share information. These limits will be explained during the informed consent process.

Yes. I offer in-person counselling at select clinic locations across the Lower Mainland, along with virtual and telephone sessions for clients throughout British Columbia. You can choose the format that best suits your needs, comfort, and availability.

In-person counselling is available by appointment at select Lower Mainland clinic locations, including Surrey Cental, Delta, Newton, Cloverdale and New Westminster. Specific locations and appointment availability can be discussed when booking.

Yes. Counselling is available in English, Punjabi, and Hindi. Being able to express yourself in a language that feels natural and comfortable can help you communicate your experiences, emotions, and concerns more openly.

A free 15-minute consultation is available. Individual counselling sessions are $160 for 60 minutes and $220 for 90 minutes, with extended session options also available. Fees may vary for specialized services, including parent coaching and ICBC counselling. Please visit the Services page for complete session rates.

Many extended health benefit plans provide coverage for services delivered by a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). However, coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and individual policy. I recommend confirming your eligibility, reimbursement limits, and any applicable requirements directly with your insurance provider before your appointment.

Direct billing is available for eligible insurance plans. Availability depends on your insurance provider and coverage arrangements. If direct billing is unavailable, a receipt can be provided for you to submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement.

Yes. I provide counselling support for individuals experiencing emotional and psychological challenges following a motor vehicle accident. This may include anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, driving-related fears, adjustment difficulties, and the emotional impact of pain or injury. Eligible counselling services may be covered through ICBC, subject to applicable coverage and approval requirements.

I kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations and missed appointments may be subject to a fee. Please refer to the Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy on my Services page for complete details.
