What to Expect: in-person therapy

What to Expect:

in-person therapy

It’s not easy to ask for help.

At Rivers Edge Counselling Centre, we want you feel as comfortable as possible in what may be a difficult time of life. We believe counselling should bring hope and healing to your life and not add undue stress. We have made every effort to create a welcoming, peaceful environment for individuals, couples and families to come for help.

If you arrive early for your session, please make yourself comfortable in the waiting room and help yourself to some water, tea or coffee. There are reading materials, but you may also wish to use this time to relax and make the transition away from the rest of your daily activities. Some clients choose to journal or spend a few moments reflecting on the thoughts, feelings, questions and experiences they may wish to bring to their session. Your therapist will meet you in the waiting room at the time of your session.

The length of sessions are generally 50min for individuals and 75min for couples and families, although therapists sometimes make other arrangements.

All of our counselling offices are designed to promote relaxation and healing.
