What is individual counselling?
Individual counselling is a one-on-one therapeutic process between a client and a Registered Clinical Counsellor focused on the client's personal mental health goals. Sessions address concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions using evidence-based modalities like CBT and EMDR.
How long does an individual counselling session last?
An individual counselling session typically lasts 50 to 60 minutes. This duration allows time for check-in, focused therapeutic work, and closing reflection within a single appointment, whether delivered in person or by video.
What issues does individual counselling address?
Individual counselling addresses anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, burnout, and life transitions. Clients bring concerns rooted in personal wellbeing rather than a relationship dynamic, distinguishing individual counselling from couples or family counselling formats.
How much does individual counselling cost?
Individual counselling costs typically range from $160 to $195 per 50 to 60 minute session, varying by counsellor. Many extended health insurance plans cover sessions delivered by a Registered Clinical Counsellor, and sliding scale rates are often available. View the Session Rates page for current pricing at Counsel Me Vancouver.
