PAYMENT OPTIONS
At Companion Planting Counselling, we believe that collaboration extends beyond our sessions—it's woven into how we handle payments too!
We understand that everyone’s financial landscape is unique, much like the plants in a thriving garden. That is why we offer a variety of payment options.
Take a moment to explore these choices and discuss your preferences with your practitioner.
Together, we will create a payment path that feels comfortable and nurturing for you, so you can focus on the growth and wellness of your mental health!

What is Tiered Pay?
This means your session rate is based on your current financial access and resources and reflects equitable pay for your counsellor.
This flexible, community-minded model helps keep care sustainable and accessible for everyone.
You choose the tier that fits your situation, and it can shift as life does.
If the quote fits your situation - it is the tier for you.
