Before you enrol

Common questions

No. Every course, workshop and free group on this page is open to the public, and no referral is needed.

Paid courses are often covered in part by extended health benefits, because they are delivered by a registered therapist. You get a receipt the same day you pay, with the facilitator's registration on it, so you can submit it to your provider. Coverage varies by plan - check yours before you enrol.

Live, always. Every session runs with a named Bayridge therapist in the room or on the call. Nothing on this page is pre-recorded video.

Tell us anyway. Free groups are capped and fill first-come, so we keep a list and contact you when the next one opens. Every paid course also runs privately one-to-one with the same facilitator.

Yes. Every paid course on this page also runs privately with the same facilitator, on a schedule you set together. Ask us and we will arrange it.
