Your initial call or email, if not answered immediately, will be returned as soon as possible. As entering into counselling for the first time can be a bit anxiety inducing, feel free to have a list of questions you would like answered before committing to setting an appointment.

Life can be beautiful, and it can be unbelievable challenging, and deeply painful. We’re not meant to take this journey alone.
Counselling is a collaborative process where you work with a trained professional to address and overcome distressing issues or symptoms (anxiety, depression, PTSD) and explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a safe, non-judgemental space. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit -counselling can be used for maintenance and prevention, just like an oil change and service for your car. Many people seek counselling when they’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unsupported, grieving a loss, navigating life transitions or workplace issues, or simply wanting to understand themselves better. If something is impacting your quality of life or peace of mind, counselling can help.
Booking is simple. You can reach Novii Counselling and Consulting by phone at 604-785-6577 or by email at novii@telus.net. I’d love to connect with you, answer any questions you have, and find a time that works for your schedule.
Your first session is really about us getting to know each other. Building a relationship that supports you. We’ll talk about what’s brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain from it, and what’s been going on in your life. I like to ask questions and will guide the session. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with- we go at your pace. By the end of the session we’ll have a clearer sense of direction, what working together will look like, and you’ll have some useful takeaways.
Both counsellors and psychologists provide talk therapy and support for mental health concerns. The key differences are in their training and scope of practice. Psychologists complete doctoral-level training and can conduct psychological assessments and diagnoses. Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs) hold a master’s degree in counselling. For most people seeking talk therapy and support, an RCC is an excellent fit.
Yes, virtual counselling sessions are available via secure video for clients across British Columbia. Online counselling offers the same quality of care as in-person sessions with the added convenience of connecting from home or wherever works best for you. And you can save on gas! In person and telephonic sessions are also available.
Many extended health benefit plans in Canada cover sessions with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). Coverage varies by plan so it’s a good idea to check with your provider before your first appointment. Novii Counselling can provide receipts for insurance purposes.
Standard counselling sessions are 50 minutes. I offer 60 minute sessions. 50 minute sessions are meant to allow 10 minutes for note taking. To give clients more bang for their buck, I take notes during the session. Additionally, I have always charged a lower rate than my expertise and experience warrant. I believe in keeping counselling as accessible as possible for clients while at the same time respecting my worth and the life balance I need. I’m not a fan of the “charge the fee and they will come” mentality. I do this work because first and foremost I want to make a positive impact in this world. It gives me joy to know that I’ve assisted in making someone else’s life easier, less burdened, or that they finally feel someone sees, hears, and understands them, and is on their side.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. I’ve had one session wonders. Some people find a handful of sessions gives them what they need; others benefit from longer term work and support. We’ll check in regularly about your progress and adjust our work together based on your goals, finances, and how you’re feeling. You’re always in the driver’s seat.
