FAQ

There is no one right recipe for everyone. The amount of counselling you receive will depend on you and the challenges you are facing. Some people, facing a short-term crisis, will come for two or three sessions, feel a lot better for getting things off their chest and be good until the next crisis occurs. Other people, who may be dealing with long standing problems, may wish to come for weekly or monthly appointments on an ongoing basis, particularly if they find that they feel better and are able to cope and feel more comfortable in their daily lives with the added support.

Counselling in Ontario is generally not covered by government health insurance. Park Bench Counselling Service is a private organization for which people pay on a fee-for-service basis. We are not covered by government or private insurance. Our fees are reasonable and inexpensive. Where possible, we tailor our fee structure to individuals and their circumstances. Please discuss any financial concerns with your counsellor at your initial session.
