Services

My practice is built on respect for your own knowledge and experience of who you are and what matters to you. I hope that together we can create a comfortable and safe enough space to listen to your life and identify important patterns; to find how your feelings and experience fit into the flow of your life now; and begin to look ahead to your next steps.

I start from grief- and trauma-informed frameworks and connect evidence-based techniques, whole person–care, and compassionate therapy approaches to support you in your personal journey, for example:

  • Biopsychosocial model.

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy.

  • Mindfulness-based interventions.

  • Somatic (body awareness) care.

  • Systems theory.

Counselling services can range from one-time sessions to ongoing supports, depending on your needs.

All counselling sessions are tax free and offered virtually, in English.

FAQs

  • All counselling and consultations are offered in English.

  • Counselling services with a registered social worker (RSW) are GST and PST exempt, so there’s no tax applied. You can claim your RSW services receipt on your income tax return. Social workers are recognized as medical practitioners under the Income Tax Act (Canada Revenue).

  • If you have extended health care benefits, please check if your plan covers counselling or therapeutic services with a registered social worker who holds a master of social work (MSW RSW). I’m registered with the BC College of Social Workers (#14572). I’m unable to direct bill your insurance company but will automatically provide a receipt for your session.

  • I offer a limited number of sliding scale sessions for those with financial barriers. Please discuss this with me before your first session.

  • Life happens, I get it. If you’re unable to attend your counselling session, please provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice for all cancellations. Late cancellations will be charged the rate of a normal session, out of consideration for my time and other clients who have may have benefited from that appointment availability.

  • Payment is due at the beginning of your session. You can pay by e-transfer (olivia.bauer@gmail.com) or credit card. Thank you.
