Child & Adolescent Counselling in Penticton, BC

Child and adolescent counselling is a therapeutic process that addresses anxiety, withdrawal, school difficulties, mood changes, and emotional regulation difficulties in younger clients. A Registered Clinical Counsellor applies age-appropriate techniques matched to the client's developmental stage.

Parental involvement varies by the client's age and developmental stage. A parent or guardian is typically involved in intake and goal-setting, and a counsellor discusses confidentiality expectations directly with the family at the outset.

Confidentiality for a child or adolescent client involves additional considerations tied to the client's age, developmental stage, and BC's legal framework for a minor's capacity to consent to and control their own care. A counsellor discusses these considerations directly with the family before counselling begins.

Child and adolescent counselling costs typically range from $160 to $195 per 50 minute session, varying by counsellor. Many extended health insurance plans cover sessions delivered by a Registered Clinical Counsellor. View the Session Rates page for current pricing at Counsel Me Vancouver.

A first session establishes the client's and family's concerns, relevant history, and initial goals. The counsellor explains their therapeutic approach, discusses confidentiality expectations with the family, and begins identifying age-appropriate techniques suited to the client.
