When will my appointments start?

You can often be seen by a counsellor within the week.

What happens if I don’t like my therapist?

We help you find another!

At Capital Choice Counselling Ottawa, we’re flexible. If you’re not happy with your current therapist, we can arrange for you to see a new therapist within our network. We have over 40 therapists across the city to choose from, so finding a new therapist doesn’t mean you have to travel to a different part of Ottawa.

It’s likely we have another experienced therapist near you.

Is it possible to arrange an appointment on behalf of someone else?

Yes!

Capital Choice Counselling knows there are times when you need to get help for someone close to you in your life. And our Ottawa counselors are trained in intervention techniques for those having difficulties with anger or addiction.

Will my counselling be kept confidential?

Of course.

We adhere to the strictest guidelines of ethics set out by the Canadian Psychological Association. You can trust that we will never share you information with anyone without your permission. You can also trust that you will always be treated in a fair and respectful manner.
