Affordable Counselling in Saskatoon
Making quality mental health care more accessible.
Cost should never be the only reason someone goes without the support they need. That's why we offer a variety of affordable counselling options designed to reduce financial barriers while maintaining the compassionate, professional care that every client deserves.
Practicum Students
Everyone deserves access to quality mental health care, regardless of their financial circumstances. At SoulSoothe Counselling & Wellness, we offer affordable counselling for $60 per 60-minute session through our graduate practicum program.
Our practicum students are in the final stages of their master's-level counselling education and provide counselling under the ongoing supervision of experienced registered clinicians. This allows us to offer high-quality, professional counselling at a significantly reduced fee.
Affordable counselling may be a good fit if you're paying out of pocket, have limited insurance coverage, or are simply looking for a lower-cost counselling option. Practicum students can support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, and many other common mental health challenges.
