COVID19 Counselling Policy

While many clients are choosing online/phone therapy sessions, we understand that this is not possible for all clients due to privacy concerns. Therefore limited in-person sessions are available at our North Vancouver office.

A number of measures have been put in place by Helen Whitehead Counselling to benefit everyone's safety.

• In-person sessions will adhere to all WorkSafe BC recommendations including physical distancing, & PPE where appropriate. 

• Clients for in-person sessions will be asked to cancel/reschedule appointments if they are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, are under a quarantine/isolation order, have been exposed to a person with COVID-19, or have travelled outside of Canada in the previous 14 days. In these cases virtual or telephone sessions will be offered. 

• Please only arrive a few minutes prior to your appointment, when you arrive hand sanitizing and/or handwashing will be required.

• Masks are required to be worn in the reception area and are required during the session. Please have a mask on prior to entering the building. 

• There will be no physical greetings such as hand shaking with your therapist. 

• No drinks will be provided so please bring your own water/coffee/tea if required. 

• Payment can be completed by credit card via a secure link or through e-transfer.
