My Services
Two Paths to Resolution
Lasting well-being isn’t one-size-fits-all. By integrating supportive care with clinical hypnotherapy, we address both the symptoms you feel today and the deeper patterns that hold you back.
Goal-Oriented Supportive Counselling
Clinical Hypnotherapy
The Focus
Shifting the automated survival patterns and protective parts that willpower alone cannot change.
What You Get
We work with the body’s natural regulation systems to de-escalate the stress response, restoring mental clarity, physical ease, and personal agency.
My services are designed to support you in accordance with Loi 21. I am not a psychotherapist. I cannot diagnose or treat
mental health disorders or any other disorders that are the exclusive domain of practice of psychologists or psychiatrists
Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you’re curious about how hypnotherapy feels, my clinical approach, or how to begin your Season of Support, I’m here to help.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help you access your inner mind. It is a highly effective tool for shifting automatic, unwelcome patterns, managing stress, and creating lasting habit change.
Is Hypnotherapy considered Psychotherapy in Quebec?
In accordance with Loi 21 in Quebec, it is important to distinguish between supportive care and the practice of psychotherapy. My services are categorized as supportive care and personal development (rencontres d’accompagnement).
While we work deeply with habits and emotional steady-ness, these sessions are designed to provide a “season of support” to help you manage symptoms and build new patterns. They do not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders, which remains the domain of medical psychotherapy.
Who can benefit from these sessions?
This work is designed for those navigating the weight of stress, anxiety, or chronic pain, as well as individuals seeking a deeper sense of personal growth. Every session is tailored to your unique nervous system and the specific goals you wish to reach.
What services do you provide?
- Individual Hypnotherapy & Counselling (English)
- Supportive Care and Accompaniment (English & French)
- Stress Management & Nervous System Regulation
- Group Workshops and Wellness Sessions
What are your qualifications?
I am Katherine Fitz (RCH, BA Psy).
I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Counselling Therapist with over 35 years of clinical experience in healthcare. My foundation includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Trent University, a Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling, and nursing education. I am certified in Relational Accompaniment and Support (MARA) and am a member in good standing with RITMA and ARCH.
My practice brings a deep, integrated understanding of health and wellness to every tailored session.
What can I expect during a session?
You will be guided into a natural state of focused relaxation where you remain in complete control at all times. This is a collaborative experience—a supportive dialogue where we explore thoughts, patterns, and feelings to help you move forward with clarity.
How long are the sessions?
Initial Intake: 60–75 minutes. Subsequent Sessions: 45–60 minutes, tailored to your specific needs and progress.
How many sessions will I need?
Hypnotherapy is a brief, solution-focused approach. While every path is unique, many clients achieve their specific goals within 6–12 sessions. We will consistently review your progress to ensure the timeline remains tailored to your evolution.
How do you comply with Quebec’s Loi 21?
In accordance with provincial regulations, my practice focuses on supportive care and personal development(accompagnement). I do not provide medical diagnoses or formal psychotherapy. Instead, I offer a “season of support” to help you manage life’s challenges, build resilience, and reach your personal goals.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. I provide receipts for reimbursement under Naturopathy (RITMA). I recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm that your specific plan covers these services.
Please note: At this time, Industrielle Alliance does not cover these services.
What are the payment options?
For your convenience, I accept payments via Interac e-transfer.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book an appointment directly through the scheduling link on my website, or by sending a message through the Contact section. You are also welcome to phone me and leave a brief message with your name and number.
I will confirm your appointment within two business days. If you have any questions before booking, please feel free to reach out at KatherineFitzTherapy@gmail.com.
Testimonials
While every journey is unique, these experiences reflect the purposeful change possible within a Season of Support.
Overall client experience
"I started having severe panic attacks 3 years ago and went through many months where it was daily. After trying a bunch of other solutions I decided to try hypnotherapy and I’m so grateful to be working with Katherine. I was nervous about hypnotherapy in general but she immediately eased my fears and tailored her guidance to avoid triggering panic. We’ve gone through a lot of trauma and she’s helped me reframe it all in a way that feels less heavy. I actually haven’t had a major panic attack since and can’t thank her enough!"
- L.C. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I discovered aspects of myself and the problem I was dealing with that were never brought to light through other therapeutic processes. This was game-changing and successful."
- L.M. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I have been having hypnotherapy sessions with Katherine for over 6 months. I was suffering from severe joint pain that disrupted my sleep and healing. Through hypnosis, she introduced a creative way to manage my pain, which I used to self-hypnotize and ease the discomfort. Since then, my pain has subsided, and now we're focusing on managing stress. If you believe in the power of the mind, let Katherine guide you into harnessing your mental strength."
- W.C. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"We were able to delve deep and find triggers I honestly wasn't aware of. But also address issues that even with the tools provided from other forms of therapy, did not address over the long term. The experience provides a deeper connection with self and guides you with inner tools to help in any way you can. Highly effective. Best experience. Lasting changes."
- B.R. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I can't thank Katherine enough for the incredible support she provided in overcoming my procrastination. I was struggling to stay focused and complete tasks, which was affecting both my personal and professional life. From our very first session, Katherine’s approach was both compassionate and effective. Her hypnotherapy techniques helped me develop productive habits. I’ve seen a significant improvement in my ability to manage my time and stay motivated. Katherine’s guidance has truly transformed my approach to work and life. If you're dealing with procrastination or need help reaching your goals, I highly recommend Katherine!"
- M.N. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Katherine first accompanied me through ketamine infusion therapy, and then onwards after inital treatments. As someone who has had a lot of different therapists, I appreciated that she was able to adapt her methods to best suit my therapeutic needs. She isn’t afraid to make suggestions and tell you what you need to hear, but she does so with tact and compassion. She cares about my struggles but also helps me to celebrate my successes, which was something I was never really in the habit of doing. I find Katherine easy to relate to and deeply human in her approach. I am very thankful for the work and successes she has helped me achieve in the last year."
- C.H. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
