How to Begin

1. Booking your session

There are two easy ways to begin our work together. You can book a full session instantly online or reach out via email to schedule a complimentary introduction.

Option 1: Book a Full Session Instantly. If you are ready to dive right in, you can view my real-time schedule and book your 60-Minute Individual Counselling Session directly by clicking the link below:

Option 2: Connect via Email for a Free Intro Call. If you prefer to start more gently, I invite you to a free 15-minute introductory conversation. This is a quiet, no-pressure space for us to meet, discuss what you’re looking for, and ensure we are a good fit.

To set this up, please email me directly at valerie@whisperingwaycounselling.ca. 

When you write, it is incredibly helpful if you include:

  • Your general availability for a 15-minute phone call.

  • Whether you are most interested in a Virtual session or a nature-based Walk-and-Talk in Victoria.

  • A brief sentence about what brings you to counselling at this time (completely optional).

I personally respond to all email inquiries within 24–48 hours. Whichever path you choose, I look forward to hearing from you.

2. Your virtual appointment

Once we’ve scheduled your session, I will send you a private, secure link to my Doxy.me virtual office. There is no software to download—you simply click the link at our scheduled time.

3. Payment
  • Methods: I accept e-transfer.

  • Timing: Payment is processed at the end of each session.

  • Documentation: I provide a professional receipt via email that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

4. Preparing for your session

You don’t need to prepare anything formal. I only suggest finding a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable and won't be interrupted. Having a glass of water, a blanket, or a journal nearby can often help you feel more grounded as we work together.

You don't have to go through it alone.

Let’s find a path forward that feels gentle and grounded for you. I offer a free 15-minute chat to see how I can best support you.
