Stories from our clients
Questions, gently answered
Questions people ask us
What is transgender counselling?
It is talk therapy with a counsellor who is trained in gender identity and gender-affirming practice. Sessions can cover dysphoria, transition planning, relationships, mental health or anything else you bring — your gender identity itself is never treated as the problem.
Do I need a diagnosis or a referral to start?
No. You can book directly with us. If you later need documentation for a provincial gender-affirming care pathway, your counsellor can talk you through what is usually required in your province or territory.
Is counselling available across Canada?
Yes. We work with clinicians registered in provinces and territories nationwide and match you with someone licensed to practise where you live, including remote and northern communities.
Is it covered by provincial health plans or insurance?
Provincial plans rarely cover private counselling, but most extended health and student benefit plans reimburse registered psychotherapists, social workers or psychologists. We provide the receipts your insurer needs, and sliding-scale fees are available.
Can my family or partner join a session?
Absolutely. Many clients alternate individual sessions with family or couples sessions. Your counsellor will suggest a rhythm, and nothing is shared with anyone else without your consent.
