Frequently Asked Questions


Is counselling confidential?

Confidentiality is an essential element of every clinical relationship. We are committed to maintaining confidentiality and all your interactions with us are confidential within the limits of the law. This means that your conversations with us remain confidential except when you make statements about harming yourself or another person, when you provide information about a child who is being harmed or is in need of protection, when the information from your counselling is requested through a valid subpoena or court order or when you sign a written release requesting that your counsellor share specific information with another individual or agency.

How do I know if I am going to 'fit' with one counsellor or another?

We believe that 'fit' is an important part of the counselling experience. Research shows that the quality of the relationship that a client is able to develop with their therapist is an essential ingredient in the effectiveness of psychotherapy.

At Pacific Therapy & Consulting we offer a 15 minute FREE consultation. This allows you to meet a counsellor, ask any questions you may have about their work, and see if they feel like a “fit”. It is our goal to assist you to work with a counsellor who feels right for you and has the expertise that you need for effective service.
