Counselling and Hypnotherapy
Currently, counselling and hypnotherapy sessions are offered online through Zoom or by phone.
Counselling
Counselling sessions are 50 minutes. My counselling practice is grounded in relational, client-centered practice informed by transpersonal, Jungian, and strength-based therapeutic approaches.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy sessions are usually 60-90 minutes and consist of using hypnotherapeutic techniques such as suggestibility testing, progressive relaxation, direct suggestion and guided therapeutic imagery in order to tap into your subconscious awareness. Once in this deep, pleasant, relaxed state, one's subconscious becomes more receptive to new information. Emotional blocks (acting as obstacles to achieving one’s goals and desires) can be released, and old habits and patterns can be transformed into new and constructive ones.
Rates
Counselling: $130 per 50 minutes
Hypnotherapy $150 per 60-90 minutes

I am registered with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT), RTC # 4386.
Expectations of Hypnotherapy Sessions:
Each individual responds differently so I specifically plan your sessions to best match your needs using a strength-based, client-centered approach.
My goal is to help you to help yourself, by facilitating a deep awareness of what is troubling you and helping to empower yourself to make the appropriate changes. However, no guarantees as to the effectiveness of hypnotherapy for your particular issue are made or implied, as it is impossible to guarantee human behaviour or compliance. Therefore, no refunds for services are given. Hypnotherapy is not a quick fix or magic pill. A hypnotherapist is considered a guide or facilitator. You assume equal responsibility by making a commitment and allowing yourself to be guided into a state of hypnosis.
I may ask you to do homework in-between sessions and it is up to you to undertake these tasks in order to gain positive benefit and progression in your treatment.
It is my experience that the hypnotherapeutic approach can provide many beneficial effects; however, please remember that hypnosis is not a substitute for proper medical attention.
