Question 1

What can I expect when I reach out?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Can you help with stress or burnout?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Do you offer virtual therapy in Nova Scotia?

Accepted Answer

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.

How do I book a session?

Accepted Answer

You can book by emailing me at ccc@seekcounselling.ca. We’ll choose a time that works best for you.

How much does a session cost?

Question 7

Is counselling covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

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.

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.

Question 11

Can therapy help with grief and loss?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 12

Do you work with teens or children?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 13

Do you work with addiction?

Accepted Answer

I do not work with clients in active addiction. However, I can support individuals in recovery or provide referrals to specialized services.

Question 14

How private are sessions?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 15

What if I’m not sure therapy is right for me?

Accepted Answer

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.
