Frequently Asked Questions
Reaching out can feel like a bigger step than it looks. When you contact SEEK, you’re starting a conversation, not entering a system.
We’ll talk about what’s bringing you here, what you’re hoping for, and whether I’m the right person to walk alongside you. There’s no pressure to have the “right” words. We begin wherever you are.
I offer therapy for stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, identity and meaning work, career counselling, and life transitions.
My approach is rooted in Person-Centered Therapy, psychodynamic theory, mindfulness, and feminist perspectives. Sessions are available online for clients across Nova Scotia, including Halifax.
Yes. I work with clients throughout Halifax and Nova Scotia who are navigating stress, burnout, and life’s pressures. Together, we explore coping tools, self-awareness, and deeper patterns that contribute to stress.
Yes. All sessions are available virtually, making counselling accessible to anyone living in Nova Scotia. Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions and offers more flexibility for many people.
You can book by emailing me at ccc@seekcounselling.ca. We’ll choose a time that works best for you.
Sessions are $150 per session. Payment is due at the time of the session, and receipts are provided for insurance reimbursement or personal records.
Many extended health insurance plans cover counselling services with a Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT, RCT-C). In many cases, I can bill directly to your provider, depending on your plan. It’s best to check with your provider to confirm your coverage.
Sessions are typically 60 minutes. Longer sessions may be available upon request.
Cancellations require 24 hours’ notice. Late cancellations or missed appointments may be charged the full session fee.
I support clients with anxiety, stress, grief and loss, identity exploration, relationships, life transitions, and existential questions. I also work with people who are curious about personal growth and self-discovery.
Yes. Grief is a natural but difficult part of life, and therapy provides a safe space to process emotions, find meaning, and explore healing at your own pace.
I work with adults and some teens. I do not currently provide counselling for young children, but I can suggest resources or referrals if needed.
I do not work with clients in active addiction. However, I can support individuals in recovery or provide referrals to specialized services.
Confidentiality is a core part of counselling. What you share remains private, except in rare situations where safety is a concern, such as risk of harm.
That’s completely normal. I encourage people to book an initial session and think of it as a conversation. We explore what you’re looking for and whether working together feels like a good fit.
