Sandi provides a free half hour consultation prior to entering into an agreement to continue with ongoing counselling services. During this consultation, potential clients are encouraged to ask questions and will have the opportunity to view the counselling spaces.

Following this consultation if it is determined that the client wishes to continue, an initial intake session will be scheduled at which time some personal information and initial goal setting with be completed. In addition, a contract for service will be completed.

Counselling is a process that invites the client(s) to express thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a safe and non-judgemental environment. Your counsellor's role is to provide that objective support, make suggestions where appropriate and provide helpful information to assist you on your healing journey.

This process may involve weekly, bi-weekly or monthly sessions for a set period of time. Your counsellor should always maintain an open and collaborative approach to ensure that the support is meeting your needs. The schedule of sessions is influenced by many factors including the severity of the issues presented, the level of supports the client has and their willingness to engage in the process.

Sandi cannot provide a diagnostic service. However, she is qualified to provide an assessment and treatment. In cases where consent is provided by the client(s), consultation with community partners will occur upon request.

All services support a LGBT2Q positive approach.
