Affordability
FINANCIAL COST OF COUNSELLING
Robert Goulard Counselling Service employs various methods, making counselling accessible to people at an affordable rate. The standard rate is $130.00 per hour, which can be covered through various insurance programs such as Green Shield, EAPs, and other private insurance companies. A significantly reduced rate for counselling is available to people who actively participate in group therapy with Robert Goulard.
Group counselling, in addition to being very effective, makes counselling accessible to everyone at a very affordable rate. Group counselling, however, can be very intense; consequently, acceptance into group therapy sessions is not guaranteed. Individuals interested in group therapy will be assessed to ensure their suitability for this type of therapy. Group sessions are only $22.50 (HST included), and participation in groups will reduce the hourly counselling rate by almost 50%, making the hourly counselling rate only $65.00.
In addition to the standard rates, reduced rates, and group therapy options, Robert Goulard Counselling Service also offers Narrative and Brief Counselling, a type of counselling that can offer effective change very quickly, reducing the overall cost of therapy. Once again, this is very effective for some people, but acceptance into this type of service is not guaranteed, and interested individuals will be fully assessed to determine their suitability for this type of work.
