What can I expect during a counselling session?
Expect a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore emotions, life challenges, and personal goals. Our focus is on helping you build resilience and emotional well-being.
What issues can individual counselling help with?
We support clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, relationship struggles, identity concerns, and low self-esteem. We also work with those seeking personal development.
How is counselling different from life coaching?
Counselling focuses more on emotional healing, past trauma, and mental health. Coaching is typically future-focused and goal-driven. At Wellness with Ross, we offer both depending on your needs.
How often should I attend sessions?
Weekly sessions are a great place to start. Over time, frequency can be adjusted based on your progress, goals, and preferences.
Do I need to be in crisis to see a counsellor?
Not at all. Many people seek counselling for self-awareness, personal growth, and emotional balance—even when things are “okay” on the surface.
Are your sessions covered by insurance?
Some extended health insurance plans cover counselling. We encourage you to check with your provider or contact us for assistance.
What relationship challenges can counselling help with?
Relationship counselling can help you navigate communication issues, rebuild trust, resolve conflicts, and reconnect emotionally. Whether you’re facing challenges in marriage, co-parenting, or long-term partnerships, we support couples through all life transitions.
How is relationship coaching different from traditional couples therapy?
Relationship coaching is goal-oriented, focusing on practical steps and future growth, while couples therapy often explores past wounds and deeper emotional healing. At Wellness with Ross, we blend both approaches to foster real, lasting change.
Can therapy work if my partner doesn’t want to join?
Yes. Individual relationship coaching can still spark powerful shifts. By working on your own communication style, boundaries, and emotional awareness, you can positively impact the dynamic—even solo.
What’s the typical duration of a relationship counselling program?
We recommend a commitment of at least 12 sessions over 3 to 5 months to allow for meaningful progress and emotional transformation.
Do you provide counselling for LGBTQ+ relationships?
Absolutely. Our practice is fully inclusive and LGBTQ+ affirming. We honour all identities and orientations with compassion and respect.
Is online relationship counselling as effective as in-person sessions?
Yes. Virtual couples counselling offers the same supportive environment and expert guidance, with the convenience of connecting from home—ideal for busy or long-distance couples.
What areas does personal growth coaching focus on?
This coaching supports your journey toward self-awareness, confidence, emotional resilience, and life alignment. Whether you’re feeling stuck or ready for a change, we help you move forward with clarity and intention.
Is growth coaching only for business professionals?
Not at all. Growth coaching is for anyone—students, parents, creatives, or entrepreneurs—who seeks purpose, self-discovery, and mindful living.
What tools do you use in coaching sessions?
We incorporate mindfulness techniques, structured goal setting, values-based reflection, and emotional regulation tools to guide you through transformational change.
What results can I expect from coaching?
Most clients experience improved clarity, stronger self-esteem, better decision-making, and a deeper sense of personal alignment and fulfillment.
Can coaching help me overcome negative habits or thought patterns?
Yes. Through intentional reflection and accountability, we help you identify patterns that no longer serve you—and support you in shifting them.
How many sessions are ideal for real growth?
We recommend at least 10–12 coaching sessions over several months to give space for integration, growth, and momentum.
What is hypnotherapy and how does it work?
Hypnotherapy is a powerful, evidence-based practice that helps you access your subconscious mind in a relaxed state. It can support anxiety relief, habit change, trauma release, and mental clarity.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. Clinical hypnotherapy is completely safe, natural, and effective. You’re always in control and fully aware during sessions, similar to deep meditation or focused daydreaming.
What can hypnotherapy treat?
It’s helpful for anxiety, stress, phobias, low self-esteem, sleep challenges, smoking cessation, and emotional trauma. We tailor each session to your unique goals.
Will I be unconscious or lose control during a session?
No. You remain alert, aware, and in control. Hypnotherapy simply guides you into a calm, focused state where your subconscious becomes more open to positive suggestions.
How many sessions will I need?
Some people notice changes within 3–5 sessions, while deeper issues may require a longer journey for lasting transformation.
Do you offer online hypnotherapy sessions?
Yes. You can experience the full benefits of hypnotherapy from the comfort of your own space through secure virtual sessions.
