Tidalstone Counselling Services
Philosophy
Tidalstone works with a person-centred approach that focuses on the strengths and abilities that each
individual possesses. Key to this way of working is a respect for the individual, and creating a strong, positive
therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist. This therapeutic relationship is based upon respect, communication,
safety and trust. The goal is to help each client to face their challenges, and support them in taking courageous
steps towards the changes that they would like to make happen in their lives. This client-centred approach is
demonstrated through empathy and unconditional regard, which promote a safe environment where positive
strategies can be explored and encouraged.
Respect
Tidalstone Counselling is an inclusive practice
that respects all individuals for who they are.
With a mandate to create a safe and supportive environment for people of all backgrounds, abilities
and ways of knowing and being,
the therapist's goal is to assist you in living the life
you choose for yourself.
Counsellors are ethically and legally obligated to keep your personal information and the contents of therapy sessions strictly confidential. Your privacy is important at Tidalstone, so any information about your appointments will not be shared with anyone outside of our office without your consent.
Counselling services may be covered on personal health care plans. It is important that you contact your provider prior to your first session to see if they cover services provided by Registered Counselling Therapists (RCTs). Each provider is different in their coverage, so please reach out to your provider to assess whether you have coverage or not.
Tidalstone Counselling Services operates on a fee for service basis. Fees are paid when you book an appointment through our online booking system. Please use our bookings page for fast, secure payments.
If, for whatever reason, paying the session fees is challenging for you at this time, please reach out to Stephanie to discuss alternate arrangements. She can be reached by emailing her directly at Stephanie@TidalstoneCounselling.com
