What do MTC and RTC mean?

An RTC (Registered Therapeutic Counsellor) is a counsellor registered with the ACCT, a national professional association with its own standards of practice, code of ethics and ongoing training requirements. An MTC (Master Therapeutic Counsellor) is an ACCT designation for counsellors with a higher level of training and experience. You may also see RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor), a designation from a different association, the BCACC. If you plan to use extended health benefits, check which designations your plan covers.

Our approach

We don't follow one fixed method. Our counsellors come from different backgrounds and training, and we work with you in a supportive way so you can feel comfortable sharing. Depending on what you need, sessions may draw on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy, somatic and trauma-informed work, and practical skills for everyday life.
