Counselling for Families

The issues facing your family may be resolved better as a family unit. You can meet together with one of our family counsellors to be collaborative in a non-judgemental environment. We specialize in post-adoption services.

​An initial intake with a $30 fee will apply, and this can only be done with one family member. After that, a family intake will be completed with the same fee. From there, the family will transition to one sliding-scale fee per session.
Please call us at 250-386-4331 to register for counselling intake.

Schedule

To access counselling:
  • A general intake is booked
  • Once a counsellor has been assigned, the sliding-scale fee applies at this point
Appointments are:
  • meant to be weekly sessions,
  • for 1 hour at the given time, (if more than 1 hour is needed - your counsellor will talk to you about that- an extra charge will apply)
  • occur during regular office hours. 
At this point Evening and Weekend Sessions are not available.

Fees

​Initial intake
  • $30 (for one counsellor)
  • $50 (when 2 counsellors are involved)
​​

Counselling services are on a sliding scale.  Some things to consider:
  • Benefits Package:  Please check with your provider to see if your payments can be covered. (It is your responsibility to submit receipts to your provider for reimbursement - Family Services of Greater Victoria is not responsible for direct billing).
  • Ministry, CVAP, etc:  If you are involved with any of these organizations – please check to see if they can cover payments.  You may have to cover payment of sessions until you are approved.
Our scale goes from:
  • $30/session** if your annual income is less than $25,000
  • up to $110/session if your annual income is $75,000 or more (or you are covered by an Extended Health Plan)
* Reduced fees are available by special application.
​** 48 hours (2 days) notice of cancellation is required. Otherwise, a regular fee will apply.

We acknowledge the financial assistance of the Province of British Columbia.
