Healing your heart so you can move on,

one appointment at a time

Breaking up is a b*tch. Sure, we can talk about all the different possibilities that may have led to the breakup, go over who said what, try to figure out what was he thinking, and bombard ourselves with all the “why” questions, but I prefer to choose a more proactive approach.

Trust me, I wouldn’t be doing you a favor by sugar coating it, and you’ll thank me later.

Why? 

Because a guy won’t be able to break your heart again once you recognize all the red flags. Because you’ll learn how to raise your standards and stand up for yourself. Because you’ll call the shots and you’ll teach others how.

My ultimate intention is to give you the courage and inspiration to have fun with this next chapter in your life.

I will help you set goals and to stay focused on what is most important to you. You’ll be able to move forward stronger and smarter.

Let me show you how.

who is Breakup Counselling for?

DO YOU STRUGGLE…

to get through one day without thinking about your ex?

ARE YOU…

worried that you won’t find love with anyone else?

DO YOU WANT…

to move on and take control of your own happiness?

WHY COUNSELLING AND COACHING?

Our time in counselling sessions allows you to safely explore your past and express anything you’ve been holding back. Together, we will find ways to heal any wounds so you can walk out of the session stronger and in more control of your life.

What is Counselling?

The healing and understanding of the past and how it impacts our present state with the use of evidence-based practices and science supported modalities 

What is Coaching?

Focused on the present moment and creating attainable goals for the future so we can move towards a life with intention and purpose

Why You Need Both

Coaching and counselling work hand-in-hand to ensure clients have healed any past pains, optimized on learning opportunities, and move forward with a clear plan and strategies to reach their desired outcomes. Both approaches are important for a person to fully move without any being weighed down by emotional baggaes.

I wish I found Heather sooner! I've seen other counsellors and a psychologist in the past, but not one of them has given me the same insight that Heather has given me. She is kind, warmhearted, and very knowledgeable. My life has drastically improved since I started working with her and I look forward to my weekly sessions, which says a lot! I highly recommend Heather to anyone who is ready to make changes and improve their relationships. My advice: trust the process, be open, and put in the work.

Heather is the first counsellor I found that I felt comfortable enough to trust and be completely honest with. She does an excellent job of giving her full attention and allows you to take control of how you want your sessions to look, and clearly cares about her clients!

Heather, thank you so much for helping me out <3 I'm very fortunate to learn about your counseling services early through my break up. And I was able to process the grief and learn from my past mistakes. I finally was able to let go and move on with confidence and clarity.

fREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will my Extended Health plan cover the costs of counselling?

While many Extended Health Plans cover at least some form of mental health service, plans will vary on the type of health professional you are eligible to meet with and the yearly maximum insured. Please check with your Insurance Provider before your first session to ensure that your plan covers the “Registered Counsellor” designation of health professionals. For clients that are covered, typically your Provider will reimburse you for your counselling session(s) upon receipt of your proof of payment. On your proof of payment, I will make sure to include my license number and contact information as required.

My Extended Health benefits do not cover counselling with an RPC. What are my options?

If your Insurance Provider does not cover counselling fees or only partially covers its costs, please inquire about my sliding scale payment options. Depending on the limits of your coverage and the number of sessions needed, we can look at varying rates for your sessions in order to ensure you receive the support you are looking for. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss this further if this is your situation.

What should I ask my insurance company?

To determine if you have mental health coverage, you should first check with your insurance carrier. Check your coverage carefully and find the answers to the following questions:

  • What are my mental health benefits?
  • What is the coverage amount per counselling session?
  • How many counselling sessions does my plan cover?
  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

What is a Registered Professioanl Counsellor (RPC)?

The RPC designation is granted by the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association upon application and completion of extensive examination. To qualify, the counsellor must meet competency-based criterion for membership with minimum 600 hours of clinical supervision. Many RPCs also have additional training in their specific area of practice. The RPC designation indicates maintenance of comprehensive academic knowledge, clinical competence and high professional standards. An RPC is accountable for ethical practices under the strict code of ethics of the association, so clients have a means of recourse should the services received be unethical or unprofessional.

What can I expect when I attend my first session?

The first session where you and I are face-to-face is the Initial Intake Session. There are a few key areas we will cover in this session, such as reviewing some information from the intake form; assessing and discussing your presenting concerns and expectations; as well as clarifying your rights and limits to confidentiality. My goal is to help you get a sense of our upcoming work together and answer any outstanding questions you may have. The structure of this session varies with each client depending on factors such as comfort with the counsellor, readiness to discuss change, and more.

How many sessions will I need?

I offer short-term and long-term counselling.  The length of time you spend in therapy will depend on your own preference and presenting issues.  We will discuss your expectations regarding the ideal number of total sessions in our first meeting together and can modify as the process unfolds.  The counselling approach and therapeutic plan is designed with your goals and expectations in mind.

I’m so happy I found this journal randomly! I’ve been struggling with my recent breakup and this has helped me get through it. I look forward to answering the questions every day and the coloring pages are a fun touch. I wish I found this years ago!

This journal is lovely and I have learned a lot about myself. I printed it out and wrote in the pages, it’s super easy and very thought provoking. Highly recommended!

AMAZING journal! I love the colours and formatting of the journal and the questions were really reflective. The questions did more than help me get over my ex, it also helped me think about what I want in my future.
