Online Counselling Services
Online therapy is a great way to easily access therapy for trauma, chronic pain, and other issues. You can access it from home in a place that is private and comfortable for you.
My online counselling services can be provided to anyone in British Columbia, as well as some of the other Canadian Provinces and territories. You can access online therapy through any computer, tablet, or smartphone with a good internet connection.
If you are interested in learning more, please schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit and to find out how I can help you progress in your healing journey. Please book through my booking page or by contacting me via email at leona@leonawestra.ca.
EMDR Intensives
EMDR Intensives are a different style of EMDR counselling sessions. They are an in-depth form of EMDR, so instead of meeting with your therapist on a weekly basis for 50-minute sessions, you meet with your therapist for 2 hours, 3 hours, or more at a time. During these longer sessions we will focus on a theme or identified focus during the processing. They can be helpful for people who want to heal from their trauma but can’t seem to make weekly sessions work.
If you are interested in learning more or finding out if EMDR intensives are right for you, please schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit and find out how I can help you progress in your healing journey.

Do You Offer a Sliding Scale?
I offer a sliding scale based on income for those who cannot afford my full rate. Please email me or book a free 15-minute consultation if you have concerns about affordability.
What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?
You can put your credit card or banking information into the Client Portal, and I will charge it 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. The FNHA does not cover charges for missed sessions, so you may incur charges if you miss sessions without providing sufficient notice.
Do You Offer Emergency Sessions?
I offer emergency sessions as I am available. For session requests under 24 hours, please contact me via email for the fastest response: leona@leonawestra.ca
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.
