COUNSELLING SERVICES

The services provided by Lucid Counselling are based on a combination of evidence-based Western practices in psychotherapy, as well as traditional Eastern healing practices. The process involves an ongoing collaboration between myself and the client that respects client autonomy throughout. Any consent given by the client can be revoked at any time.

BENEFITS AND RISKS

Due to the nature of counselling, there are some risks. Risks include an increase in uncomfortable feelings (often temporary), the surfacing of difficult or repressed emotions and memories, or a desire to make life-altering choices.

Benefits include decreased symptoms and suffering, deeper life fulfillment, an increase in personal and relational satisfaction, increased self-awareness, increased resiliency, and new perspectives.

There are no guarantees in the counselling process and outcomes also depend on the active effort of the client

CLIENT EXPECTATIONS

The client has the responsibility to uphold commitments to scheduled appointments. No-shows or cancellations with less than 48 hours notice will be subject to 100% of the service fee.

Services are limited to within the scheduled appointments. The client is expected to respect these boundaries and seek alternative services for emergencies.

LIMITATIONS OF SERVICES

My services are limited and I may need to refer out if I feel a case is beyond the scope of my current professional abilities. Individuals dealing with more severe mental illnesses such as, but not limited to, schizophrenia, severe addictions, or certain personality disorders may need to seek alternative mental health services that are equipped to provide services for these conditions.
