How to Choose a Counsellor in Saskatoon

The relationship with your counsellor is one of the most important parts of counselling. Here are a few things worth considering.

Check credentials

In Saskatchewan, many counsellors are Registered Social Workers. Ask about registration, training and experience with the kind of concern you have.

Think about format

Would you rather meet in person, by video or by phone? Choosing a format that fits your life makes it easier to keep going.

Ask about fees and coverage

Check the hourly fee and whether your extended health plan covers the counsellor's designation.

Trust how it feels

After a session or two, notice whether you feel heard and respected. It is okay to look for a better fit.
