Typically, our hourly rate for counselling is $180.00 and the sessions are 50 minutes long. Counsellor rates may vary, so please check our team profiles for info on each therapist\u2019s rate.<\/span><\/p>\n Although counselling fees are not covered under the BC Medical Services Plan, if you are covered by your or your partner\u2019s extended health benefit plan through work, visits to a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) are often included under those plans.
