Counselling Fees & Sliding Scale
I believe counselling should be as accessible as possible. To support this, I offer a sliding scale fee structure so you can choose the rate that best reflects your circumstances. Please note, the sliding scale is not available for Couples or Family Counselling, as these sessions require longer appointment times and additional preparation. If you are seeking couples or family counselling and have financial concerns, please reach out to discuss possible options.
​
My Standard Rate is $130 per session. I also offer a Reduced Rate of $110 and an Assisted Rate of $90 for clients experiencing significant financial hardship. Please see below for more information on these fee tiers.
​
Reduced and Assisted Rate spots are limited to five clients at any one time. Once we agree on a rate, it will remain in place for three months, after which we’ll review your circumstances together. This approach ensures that others who may be in greater need also have an opportunity to access reduced fees.
​
If your financial circumstances shift before the three-month review, for better or worse, we can adjust your rate sooner if needed. This approach is grounded in trust and ensures flexibility when life changes

My Fee Tiers
A fee structure designed to nurture growth, balance, and accessibility — allowing you to select the rate that suits your circumstances.
Standard Rate - $130
For clients with steady income who can meet their needs and some wants. This rate represents the usual fee for counselling with me and is the option most clients choose.
Reduced Rate - $110
For clients managing on a modest income, perhaps supporting dependents or balancing limited resources. This option eases the financial load while ensuring counselling remains within reach.
Assisted Rate - $90
For clients experiencing significant financial difficulty — such as unemployment, concession status, or circumstances where paying more would create real strain. This ensures counselling remains possible during tough times.
How to Choose Your Rate
This is a trust-based system. There’s no need to provide proof of income. Please choose the rate that feels fair and sustainable for you right now. Paying at the higher end helps keep counselling accessible for people who otherwise could not afford it.
Missed Sessions
Missed sessions without notice are charged at your agreed rate to ensure the sustainability and availability of services.
If you have any questions about the sliding scale or review process, please ask — I’m happy to discuss.
