Heartspace Counselling and Art Therapy
compassion connecting creativity
Sessions and Fees
Counselling and therapy could be an ongoing journey in which you are investing in yourself for self-growth, self-exploration, managing stress and emotions, increasing coping strategies and self-care practice, improving interpersonal skills and relationships, and other goals you may have in mind to maintain a more balanced emotional, mental and physical well-being.
Individual Counselling
$150 +GST / 50-minute Individual Counselling Session
$240 +GST / 80-minute Individual Counselling Session
A strength-based, person-centered approach to cultivate and develop more self-understanding and exploration, emotional awareness, and other areas and goals you might have. (Note: you could consult about other focus areas before the first session.)
May involve Art Therapy, Sandtray/Sandplay Therapy, Play Therapy and mindfulness-based approaches - suitable for all ages, with online and in-person options.
EMDR Therapy / Brainspotting
$160 + GST / 50-minute EMDR or Brainspotting Session
$250 + GST / 80-minute EMDR or Brainspotting session
Somatic approaches such as EMDR and Brainspotting use bilateral stimulation and eye movements to desensitize and process stressful and traumatic experiences. These trauma-informed and trauma-focused modalities are alternatives to talk therapy.
Note: there are no differences between these sessions conducted online and in-person; it's up to your personal preference.
Play Therapy supported EMDR is only available in-person for children, with exceptions made according to age and suitability after consultation and assessment.
Family and Caregiver Sessions
$80 +GST / 30-minute Caregiver Session
$160 +GST / 50-minute Family Therapy Session

I reserve sliding-scale spots for folks who are unemployed, BIPOC or in marginalized communities.
If you do not have insurance coverage or have financial barriers that restrict the frequency or ability
to access counselling, feel free to reach out and inquire about my sliding-scale capacity and availability.
Sliding scale slots are currently full, please check back another time.
The Nitty-Gritty
What you need to know before scheduling your first session.
Cancellation Policy
48-hour notice required.
If you need to reschedule or cancel a session, please send an email two days before the scheduled appointment. Any late cancellation and cancellations done within 48-hour of the scheduled session falls under this Cancellation Policy and the full session fee will be charged.
Insurance Coverage
My RCC# is 19095.
Your sessions could be covered by your extended health provider if your benefits plan covers counselling sessions by RCCs. You could check with them directly to see if it is included in your plan. The covered amount per session and coverage amount per year would be dependent on your benefits plan.
Like most counselling services, I do not offer direct billing. You may pay for the session before or at the end of the session by cash/e-transfer/credit card, and an invoice will then be issued and sent by email.
For reimbursement, you would need to submit the invoice along with my RCC# (19095) to your extended health provider.
For further questions, please ask away in our 20-minute complimentary consultation!
