Frequently Asked Questions

Psychotherapy, also known as therapy or counselling, is a collaborative process between a trained therapist and an individual. It aims to address life challenges and emotional difficulties through exploring thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe, confidential and supportive environment. Through various therapeutic techniques and approaches, psychotherapy promotes self-awareness, personal growth, and improved mental well-being

Psychotherapy/ therapy/ counselling is covered by most insurance providers. Before proceeding with  sessions with me, an MSW, RSW, I recommend checking your insurance benefits to ensure coverage for services provided by Registered Social Workers (RSW). 

Please note that I do not offer direct billing. However, upon payment, you will receive a detailed receipt to submit to your insurer for reimbursement.

Please contact me using my website or email me at flourishpsychotherapynorfolk@gmail.com to schedule a free consultation or to book a first appointment. 

Therapy is purposely different for each individual. However, a session can look like having a collaborative and supportive conversation, having a space to share about your day/week or life circumstances and answering therapeutic questions. A lot of people are worried that psychotherapy is hard or uncomfortable and, while it can sometimes bring up negative emotions or memories, I do my very best to have you feeling better when you leave my space than when you entered it! Don't be surprised if we even get laughing or, for young people, playing!
