Step One: Services start with a phone call or email to Kelsey Feinstein Counselling. I will be happy to answer any questions that you might have about getting the process started.

​

Step Two: Once you make the initial phone call you will be invited to a first session to discuss your concerns in more detail. Sessions are 50 minutes for individuals. It is important to start on time and end on time to respect the energy present in the session space. 

​

In the first session we will discuss the working contract, policies, confidentiality, how I work, as well as your challenges and how we might work through them.

​

The first few sessions you will be asked questions about your presenting concerns and past to support me in understanding you. We will also discus your goals and how we might work together. This information gathered in our first few sessions will be used to make a plan for service, which will be discussed with you. 

 

If we both feel it is a good fit then I typically recommend we contract to starting with 6 sessions following the initial history gathering before we check to see if we both  feel good about our relationship and progress to make sure this relationship is a good fit. 

​

 

Step Three: The remainder of sessions will focus on processing and working through your presenting concerns. The duration of services ( after the initial 4-6 contacted sessions) depends on your individual needs.

​

Confidentiality: Confidentiality is imperative at Kelsey Feinstein Counselling. All interactions with me are kept confidential except where Kelsey Feinstein Counselling is required by law to break confidentiality. Confidentiality will be discussed in your first appointment.  

​

Frequency/Length: Appointments are typically 50 minutes in length. You will meet with me weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, determined by identified needs and recommendations. 

​

Ending Services: Services are completely voluntary and you can withdraw at any time. Typically services will come to a natural end when your goals have been met. Services may also end if your circumstances have changed and are beyond my scope of practice. Additionally services may end if my circumstances change. I encourage us to have a final session so we can discuss what was accomplished and any recommended next steps. Referrals or alternative supports can be provided to you at your request.
