Meredith Pilley Counselling & Clinical Hypnotherapy ~ Guiding You to Meaningful Progress and Lasting Change

Hi, I’m Meredith—a Registered Counselling Clinical Hypnotherapist and Registered Social Worker with a background in both counselling and holistic mind-body work. I help women who’ve spent years putting others first—caregivers, professionals, mothers, daughters—finally return to themselves. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, burnout, or just feeling stuck, I offer a blend of talk therapy and clinical hypnotherapy to help you feel more like yourself again: calm, clear, and confident. I provide virtual counselling (video or phone) to clients in Ontario, Canada, and virtual hypnotherapy to English-speaking clients worldwide. I’ve been in practice since 2011.

What makes working with me different? I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach—each session is tailored to your needs and pace. I combine traditional counselling with clinical hypnotherapy, so we’re not just talking about change—we’re creating it at a deeper, subconscious level. My style is grounded and no-fluff: I meet you with compassion and will gently challenge you when it helps you move forward.

You may be concerned about cost.

Fees are $175 per 60-minute-session. Services are provided within my professional practice as a Registered Social Worker (RSW). Many extended health benefit plans in Ontario provide coverage for services delivered by professionals with this designation. Clinical hypnotherapy may be incorporated within sessions as a therapeutic approach when appropriate, depending on a client’s goals and preferences. ...

I understand your concern about time.

Counselling sessions last 55-60 minutes, while hypnotherapy starts with a 90-120 minute intake, followed by 75-90 minute sessions. Many clients feel a shift after just a few sessions. Some seek short-term support, others stay longer, and we’ll check in regularly to ensure it’s a good fit. I offer virtual appointments during the day and some evenings to fit your schedule.

Will this be effective for me?

Our initial consultation is free, giving you the chance to get to know me with no obligation. I also offer discounted hypnotherapy packages for clients booking multiple sessions upfront, offering flexibility and cost savings. If you're covered for services by a Registered Social Worker, you may be eligible for reimbursement for both counselling and hypnotherapy. I provide detailed receipts to support your claim.

You may be worried about the cost.

Counselling (RSW): $175 individual / $200 relationship.

Hypnotherapy (RCCH): $175 per session.

Packages available: details, inclusions, cancellation, and refund terms provided before purchase.

All counselling services are provided under my designation as a Registered Social Worker (RSW), which includes the integration of clinical hypnotherapy as a therapeutic modality when appropriate. Most extended health benefit plans cover services provided by a Registered Social Worker. Clients submit claims under “Social Work Services,” regardless of which therapeutic approaches or modalities (such as CBT, mindfulness-based approaches, or hypnotherapy) are used in their sessions.

I recommend that clients confirm their specific coverage with their insurer prior to starting services.

I understand your concern about time.

Begin with a Consultation

This consultation is an opportunity for us to briefly connect, discuss what you would like support with, and explore how counselling or clinical hypnotherapy may support you.

Questions You May Be Wondering About

How do I know if this is the right practice for me?

Great question. You might be a good fit for my practice if:

• You are craving more profound healing, not just symptom management

• You tend to put others first and are learning to reclaim your space

• You’re open to trying something beyond just talking about your past—like hypnotherapy, guided imagery, or mind-body work

I typically work with women navigating trauma, self-worth challenges, people-pleasing, or burnout, especially caregivers, parents, or professionals who feel like they’ve lost sight of themselves along the way.

If you’re unsure, that’s what the free consultation is for. We’ll talk it through, and if I’m not the right fit, I’ll do my best to point you to someone who is.

Do you offer virtual services, telehealth, and consultations?

Yes, I offer virtual services for both counselling and hypnotherapy.

• Counselling can be done by secure video or phone

• Hypnotherapy sessions (including the free consultation) are available via secure video

My video sessions utilize a private platform that meets Canadian and U.S. privacy standards (PIPEDA, PHIPA, HIPAA)—because your comfort and confidentiality are of the utmost importance. Yes, I offer a free consultation. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure call where we’ll talk about what you’re looking for, what I offer, and whether it feels like a good fit.

How do I book an appointment?

The easiest way to book an appointment is through my website, where you can create an account and view my current availability for both daytime and evening appointments.

If you would prefer assistance with booking, or are unsure which type of session to select, you are welcome to send me a text message, and I will respond personally to help arrange a time.

What should I expect during my consultation or first session?

If you book a free consultation, we will discuss what brought you to connect with me and whether counselling, hypnotherapy, or both feel like a good fit. In your first counselling session, we’ll explore what’s going on for you right now, what’s been weighing on you, and what you’d like to work toward.

For hypnotherapy, the first session includes an intake, a conversation about your goals and roadblocks, and a guided experience so you can get comfortable with the process of hypnosis. Many clients report feeling lighter just from taking that first step. You will never be rushed. My goal is to help you feel safe, understood, and grounded from the very first step.
