Affordable therapy plays a crucial role in promoting mental health and well-being by ensuring that individuals have access to professional support without financial barriers. In a world where mental health issues are prevalent, making therapy affordable contributes to a more inclusive and compassionate society.
Affordable therapy options can encompass various modalities, including counselling, psychotherapy, and support groups. These services aim to address a wide range of mental health concerns, from stress and anxiety to more complex conditions. By removing the financial obstacle, individuals who might otherwise hesitate to seek help can access the support they need to navigate life's challenges.

​
Chrissy creates a safe and soothing space, guiding clients through a framework of forensic counselling, education and empowerment to overcome obstacles and achieve goals.
​
Working closely with attachment theory, Chrissy believes that when we know and understand how we and those we care for are showing up, we are able to nurture our relationships with empathy and break old patterns, improving our relationships and thus, also improving the quality of our lives.​

George Russu
George works with people navigating stress, relationships, life transitions, and the coping habits that often show up when life feels overwhelming. He supports adults who want to understand themselves better, build healthier emotional habits, and move toward a more grounded and value-aligned life.
He finds it inspiring to see clients take even small steps toward healing and growth, and he aims to create a space that feels safe, steady, and genuinely supportive. George has a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek help, especially while dealing with pain, uncertainty, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve.
​
His work often focuses on emotional awareness, regulation, and the connection between feelings and values. When people can tune into their emotions, they often reconnect with what truly matters to them, and George helps guide that process with a warm and practical approach.
​
George draws from several therapeutic models, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and a trauma-informed lens. His goal is to offer clear tools, gentle guidance, and a down-to-earth atmosphere where clients feel understood and empowered to make meaningful changes.
​
With a genuine and warm presence, enriched by his culture and diverse life experience, George offers individual and couple counselling in English, Romanian, and Russian.

Affordability
This shouldn't be something that you have to consider when you need support for mental health challenges. But it is. Our Low-Fee Therapy program has provided affordable therapy locally and virtually for 6 years. We'll continue to help people in this way as long as we're able.
Realistic Cost
Low-Fee sessions are $50/hour (plus GST). A typical therapy treatment plan is 6 sessions long. That means you can spend just over $300 (tax included) to literally change your life. Trust me, a lot can change in 6 weeks! You just have to start.
Counselling Interns
The program is made possible by our Interns. Every intern we take on has completed their education, and is working on getting their hours to be a fully registered professionals. They have life experience and are supervised by a fully qualified Clinical Supervisor, in our clinic.
