Every Season Counselling currently only provides online therapy via the Jane App telehealth video calls. It’s just like Zoom but more secure. When you book your appointment, a link will be emailed to you that you can click on to join the session at the time of your appointment.

In our sessions, you can expect a calm, supportive space where you are free to talk openly about whatever is on your mind. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, focusing on the concerns, questions, or challenges that have brought you to counselling. It’s also okay if you have no idea what to talk about! We figure that out together.

A typical session can look like talking through your experiences, exploring patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships, and working together to better understand what is happening in your life. At times we may reflect on past experiences, and at other times we may focus on practical strategies to help you navigate current challenges.

My role is not to judge or tell you what you should do, but to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you gain clarity, insight, and new perspectives. Over time, counselling can help you better understand yourself, strengthen coping skills, and move toward the kind of life and relationships you want.

In a nutshell, each session is tailored to you—your goals, your pace, and what feels most helpful in the moment.

A free 20-minute consultation with me is an opportunity for us to briefly connect and see if working together feels like a good fit. You can share a little about what’s bringing you to counselling, ask any questions you may have about the process, and learn more about how I work.

There’s no pressure or obligation—it's simply a chance to explore whether counselling with me feels like the right next step for you.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what has brought you to counselling. We’ll talk about the concerns or challenges you’re facing, what you hope to get out of therapy, and any relevant background that may help me better understand your situation.

You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. My goal in this first meeting is to create a safe and supportive space, answer any questions you may have, and begin identifying how counselling can best support you moving forward.

The best way to make a payment is to send an e-transfer to joel.everyseason@gmail.com. Once the payment is received, a PDF receipt will be emailed to you that you can submit to your extended health benefits.

Direct billing is not an option, but since I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor you can submit your receipt to your extended health provider to receive a reimbursement.

You can find the prices for all types of sessions on my services page. To understand more clearly why RCCs charge the rates they do, see this site from the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors.

Something to keep in mind as well is that most counsellors offer their rates for a 50-minute session. My rate is comparable and offered for full 60-minute sessions

The number of counselling sessions varies depending on your goals, needs, and the challenges you’re facing. Some clients find a few sessions helpful for gaining clarity around a specific issue, while others benefit from ongoing support as they work through deeper or longer-standing concerns. We will regularly check in about how things are going and adjust the frequency or length of counselling in a way that feels most helpful for you.

Yes, I offer 60, 75, 90, and 120-minute sessions. Some people prefer shorter sessions, some prefer longer sessions. It just depends on what you’re hoping to work on together.

EFT is a research-based approach that focuses on the important role emotions play in how we understand ourselves and connect with others. In EFT, emotions are seen as valuable signals that help us identify our needs, understand our experiences, and create meaningful change. Through EFT-based therapy, clients learn to explore and process their emotions in a safe and supportive environment, helping them develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns in relationships.

IFS is an approach that views individuals as made up of different “parts,” each with its own feelings, perspectives, and roles. None of them are “bad”, they just are. Some parts may carry pain from past experiences, while others work to protect us from that pain. In therapy, we work to understand these parts with curiosity and compassion, helping you access your core Self, embrace all of who you are, and create greater balance inside.
