Low-Cost Counselling in Vancouver

Accessible, Compassionate Support from Supervised Practicum Counsellors

We believe that mental health support should be available to everyone, regardless of financial situation. That’s why we offer low-cost counselling with supervised practicum students—skilled and compassionate emerging therapists who are completing their graduate-level training in counselling psychology.

At In Good Company Counselling, our practicum counsellors work with clients at reduced rates while receiving ongoing supervision from our experienced clinical team. This means you receive thoughtful, client-centred care backed by the knowledge and support of established professionals.

Who is Low-Cost Counselling For?

Our low-cost counselling services are ideal for:

  • Individuals, couples, & relationships looking for affordable mental health care

  • Students or those without extended health benefits

  • People exploring therapy for the first time

  • Anyone seeking support for life transitions, anxiety, stress, relationships, or identity

You don’t need to be in crisis to start. Whether you’re navigating something new or wanting to deepen your self-understanding, this can be a meaningful step toward support.

What to Expect

Working with a practicum student means:

  • You’ll meet with a dedicated counsellor-in-training who is enrolled in a master’s program in counselling psychology

  • All sessions are supervised by a senior clinician to ensure high-quality, ethical care

  • Sessions are offered both in-person and virtually  

  • Your counsellor will bring warmth, curiosity, and a collaborative approach to your sessions

Our practicum counsellors are trained in a variety of approaches and are passionate about creating safe, inclusive, and affirming spaces for healing and exploration.

Session Fees

Our goal is to offer accessible, high-quality counselling at a reduced rate. All services are provided by graduate-level practicum counsellors under the close supervision of experienced Registered Clinical Counsellors.
