Question 1

Is there a difference between counselling and therapy?

Accepted Answer

The terms are often used interchangeably. In practice, both focus on helping you work through challenges, but “therapy” may suggest deeper, long-term work while “counselling” can be more short-term or solution-focused. At Safe Nest, I meet you where you're at, no labels needed.

Question 2

Is therapy or counselling for me?

Accepted Answer

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure about what to do next, it’s probably worth talking to someone. You don’t need to be in crisis. Therapy can be a space to check in, explore what’s going on, and figure out how to move forward.

Question 3

What is your approach?

Accepted Answer

I combine evidence-based methods like EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), CBT, DBT, and the Gottman Method with a grounded, honest style of support. That means real conversations, practical tools, and no fluff.

Question 4

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer secure virtual sessions for clients anywhere in BC. It’s the same level of care, just from the comfort of your home or office.

Question 5

How much do your sessions cost?

Standard Individual Sessions: $185/ 50 mins ( tax included)

Standard Couples/Family Sessions: $295/ 75 mins ( tax included)
