Katie Southgate Counselling

One-to-one counselling for adults 18 and over living in BC. No commute, no waiting room, just a private place that feels safe and 50 minutes dedicated to you.

One gentle, free, 20-minute phone call is all it takes to begin.

Why Virtual?

Counselling with me happens online and that's on purpose. Sessions are held by secure video through Jane App, so you can join from wherever feels safest. No commute, no waiting room, no rearranging your day. Just 50 minutes dedicated to you, a stable connection, and a private space. I see adults 18 and over across British Columbia.

Start with a free call

Before anything else, we have a free 20-minute phone call. You don’t need to share any details. It’s just two people connecting to see if this feels right for both of us.

Sessions & Fees

Sessions are 50 minutes and cost $110. If you’d like more time, 90-minute sessions are available by request for $150, and we’ll decide together whether it’s the right fit for you. A sliding scale is available upon request, so if the standard fee is a barrier, please reach out and we’ll find something that works.

Your privacy matters

Privacy is of the utmost importance to me. Confidentiality and trust are the foundation of our work together, and what you share in session stays between us. Your personal information and session notes are kept private and stored securely. Sessions are held by secure video through Jane App, a platform built for health practitioners, and I ask that you join from a private place where you can speak freely. My work is guided by professional ethics, and I’ll walk you through how confidentiality works at the start, including its few legal and ethical limits, so nothing is ever a surprise.

Privacy Registration & Standards

I’m a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor – Candidate (RTCc) with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT). I carry professional liability insurance, take part in regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development, and follow ACCT’s Code of Ethics and Practice Standards, with ACCT’s complaint process as a layer of accountability. You can verify my registration and learn more about ACCT’s standards at www.acctcounsellor.com.

Payment & Insurance

Payment is due at the end of each session, and I accept debit, credit card, and e-transfer. I provide receipts for every session that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Coverage for counselling varies from plan to plan, so before we begin, I encourage you to check your extended health benefits and ask your provider whether they recognize ACCT counsellors, what your coverage amount is, and whether there are any requirements. The ACCT website also lists insurance providers that recognize ACCT members. That way, our time together can go to what matters most: you.
