With the overwhelming number of Vancouver-area counsellors available, how do you find a counsellor who is right for you? This is a critical, yet often daunting question. My view of therapy is that the relationship between client and counsellor is the most important factor in determining the success of your therapy experience. The research backs this up too. Some say that it’s a therapist’s method or training that makes the difference. While these are important factors, what difference does a particular counselling method make if you can’t get along with the person who is trying to help you?
I am continually honoured by people who call to request an appointment and say that they feel that they have a good sense of who I am and that I am the kind of therapist that they would like to work with. Yet for others, nothing beats a face-to-face meeting to know for sure. This is why I offer Meet Megan, reserved time each week to personally meet together before committing (or not committing) to counselling with me.
How this works: I have several 15-minute consultation times each week, by appointment only. This is your opportunity to ask me any counselling-related question to better help you make an informed decision about counselling. It’s also a chance for you to experience my office space and determine whether you feel comfortable there.
These are truly no-obligation consultations! I am never hurt or disappointed if someone chooses not to book with me. I truly believe that there is no one perfect therapist for everyone. I also really enjoy the experience of meeting new people and responding to your questions.
If you would like to take the next step and meet with me, please give me a call or send me an email to reserve your time and date. If my available face-to-face times for the week don’t work for you, I am happy to arrange a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation when it’s more convenient for you. I look forward to hearing from you!
