Affordable Counselling in Saskatoon: Why My Rates Stay Accessible Without Compromising Quality
Making Mental Health Support Accessible for Everyone
In today’s world, mental health support shouldn’t feel out of reach. Yet, for many people in Canada, the cost of counselling can be a real barrier to getting help.
At Pierre Begrand Counselling, I’ve built my practice around one simple philosophy — healing should be accessible, not a luxury.
I’ve kept my session rates affordable and transparent, ensuring that adults, seniors, and late teens across Saskatchewan can access professional, trauma-informed support — both in-person in Saskatoon and online across Canada.
My Counselling Rates
I believe clarity builds trust. Here’s what you can expect when working with me:
50-minute session: $140
75-minute session: $200
Free 20-minute discovery call: no cost, no pressure
These rates include my time before and after sessions to review your progress, plan next steps, and ensure your care is personalized and effective.
My rates sit below the average Canadian counselling rate, which typically ranges from $120 to $250 per session, depending on region and credentials.
What Most Counsellors Charge in Canada
If you’ve searched “how much does counselling cost in Canada?” you’ve likely noticed a wide range. Current averages show:
Registered Counsellors / Therapists: $120 – $250 per 50-minute session
Psychologists: $200 – $280 per session (especially in larger cities)
Social Workers or Sliding Scale Counsellors: $100 – $150 on average
Rates vary based on specialization, training, and geography. For example, a trauma-focused therapist in Vancouver may charge more than a counsellor in Saskatoon due to higher overhead costs — not necessarily higher expertise.
Why I Choose to Stay Affordable
I want therapy to meet you where you’re at — emotionally and financially. Here’s how I keep my services accessible without compromising the quality of care:
Low overhead, high connection: I keep my practice lean and personal, ensuring your investment goes directly into care, not unnecessary expenses.
Transparent pricing: No hidden admin fees or surprise costs. The rate you see is the rate you pay.
Accessibility over exclusivity: I’d rather help more people consistently than price myself out of reach.
Free 20-minute discovery calls: Every new client can connect first — free of charge — to see if we’re the right fit.
Comparing Rates: Saskatoon & Canada-Wide
Across Canada, most counsellors charge between $120 and $180 per session, and in Saskatoon, the range often runs $130 to $200 depending on experience and specialization.
At Pierre Begrand Counselling, my rates of $140 for 50 minutes and $200 for 75 minutes sit comfortably within — and often below — those averages, while offering clients a holistic, evidence-based, and deeply human approach to healing.
Affordable counselling doesn’t mean “less.” It means balanced — accessible, fair, and rooted in genuine care.
Investing in Yourself is the Best Investment You’ll Ever Make
When you begin counselling, you’re not just paying for time — you’re investing in clarity, peace, and growth.
Each session helps you:
Build emotional intelligence and self-awareness
Heal from stress, anxiety, grief, or trauma
Strengthen communication and relationships
Develop resilience through life’s challenges
Feel more confident and aligned with who you are
At Pierre Begrand Counselling, I believe professional mental health care should be attainable for real people, not reserved for those with high insurance coverage or income.
