Editing Content

You can choose to set up different types of input fields depending on your content. For instance, a blog might have a title, a slug, and a long-form field for formatted content. These may be different for a product directory or a photo blog, where you may need to add an image field. To edit the fields each CMS item will have, click on any of the column titles. This will trigger a modal to add new fields, where you can also re-arrange the fields or modify or delete the existing ones.

Adding Content to the Canvas

After setting up the content, go back to the canvas. Your collections are accessible from the Insert menu. Open the Insert menu, navigate to the CMS Content section, and drag and drop your collection onto the canvas. This will add a special stack with layers connected to your data. From here, you can edit the visual properties on the right, just as you would do with a regular Stack.

Add a Page with Content

If you wish to add a page instead that will automatically be populated with data from the CMS, navigate to the left panel. One you are in the Pages tab, click on the + button next to the CMS section. If you add the Index page, a page will be added with a list of all of the items in your collection. If you add the Detail page, you will be presented with a page with content from your individual items.

Note: If you chose to add the sample data, a new detail page called /blog will be added to your website, and you will find the stack of content added into the page for you.

The detail page will display content pulled from the first entry of the collection by default. In order to preview other items in the collection, change the content by selecting a different item from the dropdown menu.

FAQs

Discover answers to your questions about therapy and how to begin your healing journey.

Why do a 15 minute consultation

It is a chance to ask any remaining questions, talk about your preferences for in-person or online sessions, share what you are looking for help with, and learn about my approach, availability, and modalities. It is not a sales pitch but simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit, and if not, I can suggest other counsellors who may better meet your needs.

Services and Fee

I provide direct funding for clients through the First Nations Health Authority and the Crime Victim Assistance Program. As a registered social worker, most insurance plans can reimburse my services, although I do not offer direct billing except for ICBC and FNHA clients. My rate is $125 for a 50-minute session, and I offer a sliding scale for those who may need financial flexibility.

What is confidentiality?

Confidentiality is the foundation of the counselling process and means that what you share in therapy stays between us. Knowing our conversations are private can make it easier to open up about sensitive topics you may have kept to yourself, and I am committed to protecting that privacy both ethically and legally. There are only three exceptions, which are outlined in the intake form: if I believe you are at risk of harming yourself or others, if you disclose that a child is being harmed, or if I am required to respond to a court subpoena. We will take time in our first session to talk more about confidentiality and answer any questions you may have.

How long does counselling take?

The length of counselling varies for each person and depends on your goals. Some clients make significant progress in as few as eight sessions, while others choose to continue for years. We can talk about your preferred timeline during the initial consultation and shape your therapy to fit your needs. Therapy is an investment in yourself, and many people notice greater confidence and improved coping skills after just a few sessions. Once your goals are met, counselling often comes to a natural close or can be scaled back to less frequent sessions.

Will I feel better right away?

While some people notice positive changes quickly, it is common to feel uncomfortable at first, especially when discussing sensitive or difficult topics. This initial phase can sometimes make things feel heavier before they start to lighten. I encourage you to stick with the process, as many people begin to feel the benefits once they move past those early sessions. It is natural to have doubts about whether therapy will help, but I believe that most challenges can improve over time with patience and commitment.

Cancellation Policy

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel your appointment to avoid a $50 late cancellation fee. I understand that emergencies happen, and in those cases the fee can be waived—just reach out to let me know. Whenever possible, 48 hours’ notice is preferred so I can offer the time to someone else. If you do need to cancel, my schedule is fairly flexible and I can usually find another time to meet with you soon.
