What to Expect from Therapy at Compassion Cove Counselling Collective

  1. Therapy can be challenging and uncomfortable. This is normal.

  2. Therapy is helpful not only amid an active crisis, but also when things are going “okay”. Less turbulent periods offer an opportunity to learn coping strategies and skills which can be implemented when challenges arise.

  3. You are not required to have “a plan” for sessions. Sometimes you won’t know what feels most important to discuss until you arrive.

  4. Some people find it helpful to come with notes or topics to discuss, that’s okay too!

  5. You have the right to change the frequency of your sessions at any time. You may find you need to attend sessions more or less often depending on circumstance. You may also feel you need a break from therapy. It is normal for folks to cycle in and out of counselling across their lifetime.

  6. We support a holistic approach to care. Sometimes this means collaborating with other people in your care circle. We are always happy to speak with other professionals/support people if you believe it would be helpful. This could include providing reports, therapeutic letters, or advocating directly on your behalf.

  7. If you have feedback, we welcome it. Every day we are learning from our clients and trying our best to tailor our approach to meet their unique needs.

  8. It may be the case you and your therapist are not a good fit. This does not mean therapy is not a good fit.

  9. In the event you feel you would click better with another clinician; we are always happy to provide an appropriate referral.
