Limits of Confidentiality

All information discussed in the process of counselling is held confidential and will not be shared with a third party without the client's knowledge and written permission -- except where required by law, which includes a situation where a client:

• Threatens serious physical harm to either himself/herself or to someone else
• Reports physical or sexual child abuse (even if the victim is an adult now), if there is reason to believe that the accused abuser is still in a position to abuse other children
• Reports serious misconduct of any registered health professional

And/or

• The client's clinical file is subpoenaed

Practice Policies

Individual therapy sessions are 50 min or 90 min long depending on client’s needs and mutual agreement. Payment is due at the end of every session and may be paid by cash or personal cheque. Any appointments that need to be cancelled or re-scheduled require twenty-four hour notice. Without such notice, the client will be billed the full amount for the missed session.
