Request a consultation with Savneet
Savneet is not on the online calendar yet, so this one is arranged by reply rather than by picking a slot. Leave your name and email, say in a couple of sentences what you are looking for and roughly when you are free, and you will hear back within one business day to fix a time.
Savneet Singh, anywhere in British Columbia. Savneet works in English or Punjabi, so the consultation and your sessions can be in either, or move between the two. More about Savneet.
Sessions with Savneet are for people located in British Columbia. A session counts as happening where you are sitting, so this is a registration and insurance boundary rather than a preference. If you are elsewhere in Canada, say so on the call and you will be pointed toward someone who can properly see you.
ਸੈਸ਼ਨ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ, ਅੰਗਰੇਜ਼ੀ ਵਿੱਚ, ਜਾਂ ਦੋਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ। The consultation can be in Punjabi, English, or both. ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ
After you book, a confirmation email arrives with the video link. Nothing to install, and any device with a camera works. No diagnosis, referral or decision on the spot is needed. More on the call itself.
Before you decide
What actually happens in the 30 minutes?
You say what brought you here, in your own words. There is no form and no history to assemble. “Something is off and I do not know what” is an ordinary opening, and a large share of consultations start close to it.
You hear how the work would go: the approach that fits what you have described, roughly how long that tends to take, and what it costs. Then you decide, in your own time. Nobody is asked to commit on the call.
What do the first few sessions look like if I carry on?
Session one is the whole picture: what is going on, how long it has been going on, and what you want to be different.
Sessions two and three look for the pattern underneath the episodes rather than working through them one at a time.
Around session four there is a deliberate check on whether this is working, asked out loud rather than left to you to raise.
After that it is your call, every time. How long therapy takes covers the commitment honestly, and when therapy is not working covers what to do if it is not.
Is there anything I should prepare?
No. You are also not expected to tell the whole story: thirty minutes is not enough for that and it is not what the call is for. If it helps to arrive with anything, one sentence on what is going on and one on how long it has been going on is more than sufficient.
What should I ask on the call?
The consultation goes both ways, and the more useful version has you asking rather than only answering. What approach would you use for this and why. How would we know it was working. What do you not work with. What does it cost and is that the whole cost. Questions worth asking a therapist sets out the full list along with the answers that should make you wary. Every one of them is fair game here.
What if it turns out not to be a fit?
A consultation that ends with “this is not the right fit” is a success, not a failure. Sometimes that means a different counsellor; sometimes a physician, a psychologist for a formal assessment, or a specialised service. The limits of what this practice does are listed openly on standards and accountability, and being told one of them applies to you is a better result than a booking that was never going to help.
If cost is the obstacle, low-cost counselling in BC lists the free and reduced-cost routes, several of which have no waitlist at all.
