Your Questions, Answered
-
Yes. My standard rate is $145 per session, and I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots to support accessibility. If cost feels like a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out, we can explore options together.
-
Coverage varies depending on your provider and plan. While many extended health benefits in Canada do reimburse counselling services, not all plans include Registered Therapeutic Counsellors (RTC).
I provide detailed receipts for you to submit for reimbursement, and I recommend checking with your provider to confirm your coverage.
-
Sessions offer a calm, supportive space to explore your grief at your own pace. There is no “right way” to grieve, and no expectation of how you should feel or move through it.
Together, we gently make space for your emotions, your bond with your pet, and whatever feels most present for you, whether that’s loss, guilt, confusion, or simply needing to be heard.
-
Not at all. Whether your loss is recent or something you’ve been carrying quietly for a long time, you’re welcome here. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and support can be helpful at any stage.
-
All forms of pet loss are welcome here. This includes anticipated loss, recent passing, sudden loss, rehoming, missing pets, or changes in relationship due to life circumstances. Your bond matters, no matter the situation.
-
At this time, sessions are offered online or by phone. I do not have an office for in-person appointments.
In certain circumstances, I offer in-home support for families preparing for an at-home euthanasia. This may include gentle emotional support before, during, and/or after the transition.
If this is something you’re navigating, please feel free to reach out to discuss what support might look like.
-
That’s completely okay. Many people reach out simply because something feels heavy or unresolved. You don’t need to have the “right” reason, just a sense that you’d like support. We can take it one step at a time.
-
This varies from person to person. Some people come for a few sessions during a particularly difficult time, while others prefer ongoing support.
In the early stages of loss, especially after a sudden or unexpected passing, many people find weekly support to be especially helpful. As the grief begins to soften and integrate, sessions can often be spaced out more gradually.
We’ll find a pace that feels supportive and sustainable for you.
