Questions about counselling in Victoria
How much does counselling cost in Victoria?
It depends on your counsellor. Sessions with our intern counsellors are $35 per hour, and the first full session is free. Pre-registration counsellors are $100 per hour, and registered counsellors start at $150 for individuals and $185 for couples. See all the options on our choose-what-you-pay page.
Can you bill my insurance directly?
Yes. We bill many extended health plans directly, so you don't pay the full fee up front. We also work with ICBC and CVAP clients. Check the direct billing page for the list of providers.
Where do I park?
There's free two-hour street parking around our office at 1183 Fort Street.
Is the Victoria office accessible?
Our office is on the second floor and there's no elevator. If stairs are a barrier for you, let us know when you book and we'll help you find a ground-floor alternative or set up online sessions instead.
What happens in the free consultation?
It's a 20-minute conversation to ask questions and see whether you and a counsellor are a good fit before booking a full session. It's free for new clients and for anyone trying a different counsellor.
Can my teen see a counsellor?
Yes. Individual counselling is available from age 13. See our youth counselling page for more.
Can I do sessions online instead?
Yes. We offer video and phone sessions anywhere in BC, Nova Scotia and PEI.
