What to Expect When Accessing Counselling Services
When you reach out to us for counselling services at Latitude Counselling, we aim to make the process as smooth and personalized as possible. Here's what you can expect:
Initial Inquiry: We encourage you to share what areas you are interested in working through, such as ethical non-monogamy or relationship counselling, tools for managing ADHD, anxiety or depression, working on communication in relationships (romantic, platonic, and familial), processing trauma or focusing on personal growth and development.
Preferences: Let us know your preferences regarding the time of day you would like to see someone and whether you prefer virtual or in-person sessions.
Personalized Recommendations: Based on your interests and preferences, we will offer you a selection of counsellors who specialize in the areas you wish to address. You can choose to connect with one or multiple counsellors to determine who is the best fit for you.
Free 20-Minute Consultation: Once you've selected a counsellor or counsellors, you will have the opportunity to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. This consultation allows you to get a sense of the counsellor's approach, personality, and whether you feel comfortable working with them.
Booking Sessions: After your consultation, if you decide to proceed, you can book either a 50- or 80-minute session with your chosen counsellor.
At Latitude Counselling, we prioritize your comfort, privacy, and finding the right fit for your needs. Our goal is to support you on your journey towards improved mental health and well-being. We are committed to helping you find the best fit with a therapist, so if you didn't feel like your sessions weren't quite right, we are happy to give you some more suggestions of other therapists at Latitude that might suit you better.
