Affordable Counselling
Take control of your mental health without breaking the bank.
Have you been considering therapy but are hesitant because of the financial commitment? Do you need support but feel unsure how to afford it? If you’ve been struggling alone with limited resources, affordable virtual counselling might be the solution. You can get the help you need without adding financial stress to your life.
At Bowmanville Psychotherapy, we believe that counselling is essential for maintaining optimal mental health. We also understand that not everyone has equal access to these services. That’s why we’re committed to making therapy more accessible by offering affordable counselling options for individuals and couples.
What is Affordable Counselling?
We recognize that traditional therapy can be costly for many people. Whether you’re a student, working part-time, a stay-at-home parent, or someone without benefits to cover therapy, we know that paying for sessions can be challenging.
Traditional rates: Therapy sessions typically range from $150 to $200 for a 50-minute session.
Affordable rates: With our affordable counselling, we offer:
-
Individual sessions: $100 per 50 minutes
-
Couples sessions: $120 per 50 minutes
If these rates are still out of reach, please reach out—limited sliding scale spots are available for those in greater financial need.

What is a Student Counsellor?
A student counsellor is a graduate-level student completing their Master’s degree in a counselling-related field. At this stage, they have completed their coursework and are gaining practical experience by working directly with clients.
Student counsellors work under the close supervision of a Registered Psychotherapist, ensuring they receive professional guidance and support.
