Coaching, Counselling and Psychotherapy
Is counselling or coaching for one person only or can I bring my family members?
The Redpath Centre currently offers individual, couples and family therapy depending on our
client's needs.
How do I know if a Redpath Associate is the
right one for me?
All of our clinical associates have a minimum
of five years experience in the field of Asperger Syndrome. A description of the therapist's area of expertise, relevant
experience, education and publications are available within each of the clinical associates profiles accessed through the
"Associates" tab on The Redpath Centre website. If you feel that the associate that you met with is not the right
one for you, we can make suggestions for you to meet with other clinicians who may be more suitable.
What approaches or theories do Associates use?
The Redpath Centre utilizes an inter-disciplinary and collaborative approach to ensure the most appropriate services
for each person. Our clinical associates draw from a variety of theoretical frameworks and best practice evidence based on
the problems or issues that clients raise at appointments.
How many
appointments will I have and how often?
The frequency and total
number of appointments varies based on the goals and action plans determined by the clinical associate and client. These concerns
are usually discussed within the first session and are flexible as goals are revisited.
Will my sessions be kept confidential?
The Redpath Centre
respects individual's rights to privacy and confidentiality. Information shared with your therapist will not be used for additional
purposes without your written consent. Some circumstances such as risk of harm to yourself or someone else, and risk of abuse
or harm to a child are exceptions to the above policy. The Redpath Centre is proud to operate in accordance with the Code
of Ethics of the provincial regulatory colleges governing our professions.
I feel I have Asperger Syndrome, but do not have a professional diagnosis. Is a formal diagnosis required in order
to receive services from you?
No, a formal diagnosis is not required
in order to receive services. However, it may be helpful to receive a formal psychological assessment in the future in order
to inform the therapeutic work we are engaged in together.
