Counselling Sessions

If you are unsure about how often you would like to come in, we often recommend to begin with weekly appointments, but it is possible to come less frequently. This is something that your counsellor will discuss with you over the first few sessions and together you will come up with a plan that is best for you. Some of the considerations will be:

• what are seeking counselling for,
• your current goals, and
• financial and schedule considerations.

Our sessions are 50 or 75 minutes. Appointments are arranged by calling 604-629-7108, emailing info@steadfastcounselling.com or by booking an appointment online.

Please view our Session Options for more information on the different counselling methods we offer.
