One-on-One Counselling Tailored to Your Unique Needs

Individual counselling is the opportunity to engage in one-on-one support with a registered or provisionally registered psychologist. Clients may seek individual counselling for a variety of reasons, such as wanting support facing life stressors, struggling with a mental-health diagnoses, or for personal growth and exploration. At Horizon Counselling Service we strive to provide personalized, evidence-based care that meets you where you are and supports where you want to go.

Individual sessions are often 50 minutes in length and can be online or in person. Sessions may include a variety of approaches (see approaches for more information), but our process at Horizon Counselling begins with a collaborative and human focused lens where we create a judgement free and welcoming atmosphere. The “50 minute hour” exists to allow enough time for meaningful therapeutic work while leaving space for the therapist to complete notes, prepare for the next client, and avoid burnout. This structure helps maintain consistency and quality across sessions. This allows us to show up for you at each session.
