I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah – whenever I have needed her assistance she is always willing to help. Sarah is a dedicated instructor who is very committed to her student's success. In my role as Education Assistant I interact daily with the student population and more than once I have been told by Sarah's students how much they value not only what she has taught them but how much they appreciate the role she has played in developing them as a career professional.

Frequently asked questions
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel your session. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur a fee.
What can I expect during my first session?
For the free consultation, I will invite you to share your concerns, what your goals are and any questions you have for me.
For the initial first session, we will spend time reviewing the intake forms you completed to better understand your needs and goals.
Confidentiality
The counselling relationship is built on trust between counsellor and client, therefore anything that is shared in session will remain confidential. There are some limits to this, which are:
1. If I believe you or another is at risk of imminent harm: where possible I would let you know and discuss it with you, and my supervisor, before taking appropriate action.
2. If a Court Order is received demanding records.
3. For the purposes of professional supervision and education. I can ensure confidentiality in face-to-face communication, but cannot ensure that electronic communication by telephone or internet will be confidential. Please be aware of this if you chose to communicate through e-mail, text, social media, Skype, Zoom or any similar format
