Low Cost Counselling

Low-Cost Counselling in Downtown Vancouver

Same Care · Reduced Rate

Accessible Mental Health Care

We believe everyone deserves a safe space to land — regardless of what your finances look like this season.

Wellness Talks Health Centre offers low-cost counselling in Downtown Vancouver and virtually throughout British Columbia for clients who may not be able to access our standard counselling rates. The work is still thoughtful, supportive, and clinically guided — the rate is simply scaled to meet you where you are.

At Wellness Talks, we offer two types of low-cost counselling options:

Low-Cost Counselling with Intern Counsellors

Our counselling interns provide affordable therapy under clinical supervision. This can be a supportive option for individuals seeking accessible mental health care while working with a student counsellor who is closely supported by an experienced clinical supervisor. View low-cost intern counselling rates on Jane App.

Low-Cost Counselling with Registered Clinical Counsellors

Some of our Registered Clinical Counsellors offer low-cost counselling. These sessions are offered at a reduced rate for a set period based on the client's specific financial situation. Contact admin to learn more: info@wellnesstalkshealth.com.

Sessions may be available in-person at our Downtown Vancouver counselling clinic or virtually anywhere in BC. Availability is limited and prioritized based on need.

Eligibility

Who is this program designed for?

Our low-cost program is designed for individuals navigating real financial constraints — not as a trial tier, and not as a way to test counselling before committing. It is the same care at a reduced rate.

Unlike many low-cost programs, our sessions are delivered by Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) with a Master's degree — not student interns or practicum candidates.

  • You do not have extended health benefits, or your coverage is limited
  • You are between jobs, a student, on leave, or navigating a financial hardship
  • You are newly arrived in Canada and still establishing your footing
  • Other circumstances are making standard-rate counselling inaccessible right now
Intern Counsellors

Low-cost sessions with our Master's-level interns

Intern counsellors are graduate students completing supervised clinical training under an experienced Registered Clinical Counsellor.

English

A lower rate shouldn't mean a lower standard of care.

Our low-cost RCC sessions are delivered by fully credentialed Registered Clinical Counsellors using the same evidence-based approaches — EFT, EMDR, CBT, IFS — as our standard rate. Our intern sessions are delivered by Master's-level student counsellors under close clinical supervision from an experienced RCC. Same room, same care, scaled to where you are.
