about Us
Why Work With
Turning Point Counselling
We love what we do, we love how we do it, and we love who we do it for.
“Speaking the truth can sometimes hurt, but it’s the fastest path to healing.”
At Turning Point Counselling, we’re not just therapists—we’re passionate guides here to help you transform your life by speaking to the truth of what’s happening to you. Whether you’re a couple struggling to reconnect, or an individual dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, or compulsive behaviours, we’re here to help. We tackle the tough stuff—the issues that have been holding you back.
As the founder of this clinic, my own breakthrough in therapy inspired me to become a therapist. That moment of clarity showed me I was meant to do this for the rest of my life.
Our team believes that no problem is too big to solve and that there’s always a way forward. With over 15 years of combined experience, we offer solution-focused therapy that gets results. We believe in finding the right approach for the right person at the right time to create lasting change.
Are you ready for your turning point? Let’s find your path forward together.
At Turning Point Counselling, we focus on what matters most:
Compassion
Sometimes, all we need is someone to listen without judgment and accept us as we are. This can create a safe space for healing and growth.
Love
Feeling connected, understood, and cared for nourishes our spirit. Being seen and heard strengthens us, and these are ways we show love to ourselves and others.
Integrity
We are committed to honesty and integrity in all we do. Our goal is to help clients find their true selves and embrace their personal power.

Our Approach
How Our Therapy Works
At Turning Point Counselling, we listen to your concerns, encourage open conversation, and work together to help you heal.
We get to know you
Understanding your history and challenges is the first step in building a relationship based on trust and connection. We want to hear your story. To make the process quicker, we may use a few simple tests, assessments, or questionnaires, but not too many!
We develop a plan
We work with you to understand your goals and dreams. Together, we develop a plan specific to your needs and priorities to help you see the changes you are looking for. We welcome your input and can change or adjust as needed.
We work with you
Each session brings you closer to your goals. We adjust your plan as you progress, using skills we’ve developed together, which may include “homework,” reading, outside resources., or referrals, if needed. Session frequency and duration are flexible to fit your schedule and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are your counselling fees?
Our fees range from $100 per hour for student interns to $170 or $180 per hour for fully licensed therapists, depending on the level of expertise and the type of therapy provided. We believe in offering quality care at a variety of price points to ensure therapy is accessible to as many people as possible.
Do you accept insurance?
Many benefit providers cover services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), but coverage can vary depending on your plan. It’s important to check with your provider beforehand to confirm the details of your coverage, including any limits or co-payments. Some plans may only cover a portion of the fee or have an annual cap.
If your plan only covers services from a “Psychologist,” please let us know. In some cases, we may be able to offer accommodations, though this may come at a slightly higher rate. We recommend confirming coverage before booking your appointment to ensure there are no surprises.
What is your cancellation policy?
At Turning Point Counselling, we are committed to providing exceptional care while respecting the time of both our clients and therapists. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please give at least 24 business hours notice (weekends and statutory holidays do not count). You can reach your therapist directly, call our office, or log into your Jane account to make changes.
Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will incur the full session fee. We understand that unexpected situations arise, and we are happy to review individual cases where the fee may be waived. Your cooperation helps us maintain a smooth and respectful schedule for everyone.
How long does therapy usually last?
The length of therapy depends on both the client and the specific challenges being addressed. Some clients find clarity and answers after just one session, but for more complex issues, therapy typically spans 10-12 sessions. We understand that factors like time availability, budget, and benefits coverage may also influence the process. Together, we can discuss this an create a plan that works best for you.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
When a person feels stuck, in a rut, or is keenly aware that their life is not what they want it to be and feels compelled to find solutions to a chronic problem, it may be time to seek professional help. Often, clients have tried a few things to improve their situation, but they have not been effective, so they are looking for new ideas. Others may simply need a safe, non-judgmental space where someone can listen to them unload, get things off their chest, or open up without feeling judged or attacked. If you’re looking for new insights or a compassionate ear, therapy can offer the support and direction you need.
