Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect in a counselling session?

Counselling happens in a safe relationship where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment.

In your first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other, clarify what brings you to counselling, and begin identifying your goals.

As sessions continue, your therapist will help you notice and understand the roots of your struggles, as these often hold the key to healing and change. Together, you’ll work to make sense of your feelings, discover healthier ways of responding, and strengthen your connection to yourself and others. Each session moves at your pace, with the goal of creating greater clarity, healing, and hope.

How many sessions and how often should I come?

The number of sessions and how often you attend depends on your unique goals and circumstances. Some clients benefit from a few focused sessions, while others may find ongoing support helpful over a longer period of time. We begin with weekly or bi-weekly sessions and adjust accordingly. We’ll work together to create a plan that’s realistic, supportive, and tailored to you.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes! We offer confidential virtual therapy through Jane App. The link will be sent directly to you when you book your appointment online.

Is counselling covered by insurance?

Most insurance companies cover therapy at Three Cord, as we are certified counsellors. We are also able to direct bill with many providers; however, coverage can vary depending on your specific company and policy. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to confirm the details of your plan.

Do you offer a sliding scale rate?

If cost is a concern, we encourage you to reach out and share your situation—sliding scale options may be available.

What therapeutic approaches or modalities do you use?

At Three Cord, therapeutic modalities are integrated through a biblical worldview. This means counselling draws on evidence-based practices while being guided by biblical truths about our human nature and the hope of grace and restoration. Common modalities include:

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) – Creates space to explore and process emotions, helping you understand what you feel and why—often leading to deeper healing and stronger connections.
Family Systems Therapy – Examines family roles and patterns, helping families or couples improve communication, reduce conflict, and grow closer.
Psychodynamic Therapy – Looks at how your past experiences and unconscious patterns may be shaping your present thoughts, feelings, and relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behavior, then replace them with healthier ways of thinking and responding.
Acceptance Therapy (ACT) – Encourages acceptance of difficult emotions while helping you live in alignment with your values and long-term goals.

What if I am not a Christian? Is Three Cord right for me?

Absolutely! Three Cord is committed to providing professional counselling, which means any faith perspective can be considered and discussed at your request. Rooted in Christian values, our approach is to meet you where you are.
