Here is a summary of the fees associated with my counselling services, along with some options for those seeking more affordable alternatives. At this time, I only provide online individual counselling and don’t offer couples, family or group sessions.
Counselling Fees
Individual Counselling (online sessions only)
- 50-minute session $150+GST
- 80-minute session $225+GST
Intensives
- 2-hour $300+GST
- 3-hour $450+GST
Longer Sessions may be available upon request.
Sliding Scale
I offer a sliding scale based on income for those who cannot afford my full rate. If you have concerns about affordability, please email me or book a free 15-minute consultation.
Accepted Payment Forms
You can put your credit card or banking information into the Client Portal, and I will charge them after a session. I also accept PayPal and e-transfer.
I am also a service provider with FNHA, and CVAP, taking direct payment from them with no top-up for you. FNHA does not cover charges for missed sessions, so there may be charges if you miss sessions without sufficient notice.
Insurance
Many health insurance policies cover counselling. Please ensure that your insurance policy covers Registered Clinical Counsellors before our first session. I currently do not have any agreements with insurance companies for direct payments besides those with FNHA, and CVAP. I will provide you with a receipt that you can send to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Please get in touch with me with any questions you may have about my counselling services by emailing leona@leonawestra.ca or book a consultation via my booking page.
Cancellation Policy
I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you wish to cancel your session, please do so through the booking system or by emailing me 24 hours prior to your session. Cancellation fee for no shows and late cancellations is a full session fee. There are allowances for emergencies and health crises. Please contact me via email or secure messaging (within the client portal) if those apply to you.
