Supporting Your Journey

I believe that meaningful support should be reachable, sustainable, and consistent. To help you build a solid foundation, I am currently offering a Summer Wellness Rate of $80 per session for your first four sessions.

My goal is to ensure you have the time and space to experience the benefits of our work together without the added pressure of cost.

Standard Rates: $100 per individual session / $120 per couple.

Sliding Scale: I hold a limited number of reduced-rate spaces for those navigating financial hardship. If this is your situation, please reach out—I am committed to finding a path that feels sustainable for you.

Insurance & Benefits

As a Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling – Provisional (MPCC-P), my services are covered by many extended health plans.

  • Check Your Coverage: Ask your provider if "Registered Professional Counsellors" or "Provisional" members of the CPCA are included in your plan.

  • Reimbursement: I provide professional receipts for you to submit to your insurer. I do not offer direct billing at this time.

  • Payment: Fees are payable via e-transfer

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.
