*Join Our Team at Relate & Restore CounsellingWelcome* We're so glad you're here. We are Sarah Harris and Nicole Fakaua, Directors of Relate & Restore Counselling, an emerging and growing private counselling practice with locations in Kelowna and Vernon, BC. Alongside our roles as Registered Clinical Counsellors and supervisors, we are also friends, mothers, and lifelong learners. As the need for effective mental health care continues to grow, our vision is to create a collaborative community of culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapists who are supported to achieve their professional goals and flourish in private practice. Guided by attachment science, we believe that strong therapeutic relationships begin with environments where clinicians feel connected, valued, and supported. *Why We Created Relate & Restore* Like many therapists, we were drawn to private practice because it offered the freedom to work in ways that reflected our values and build meaningful therapeutic relationships. We also quickly discovered that building a successful practice requires more than excellent clinical work; it requires a professional environment, visibility within the community, and meaningful connections with like-minded colleagues. Relate & Restore was created because we believed private practice could feel different. Rather than simply offering office rental or a traditional percentage-split arrangement, we've established a collaborative practice model that combines professional independence with shared opportunities for growth. We work alongside independent practitioners by providing beautiful counselling spaces, shared marketing opportunities, referral opportunities, peer connection, and a supportive professional environment designed to help you build a sustainable private practice. Our model allows you to maintain autonomy over your own business while benefiting from the credibility, visibility, and community that come from being part of an established and growing counselling practice. *A Different Fixed-Fee Model* Traditional percentage-split models often mean that as your practice becomes more successful, you continue to pay an increasing portion of your income. We wanted a model that rewards growth instead. Our fixed-fee structure provides transparency and predictability while allowing you to retain more of your earnings as your caseload grows. Your fee remains consistent, while your earning potential increases as you build your own practice. Our model is designed to provide: * Transparent and predictable business expenses * No percentage split on your client revenue * Greater earning potential as your practice grows * Access to professional counselling space and shared practice opportunities * The ability to build your own independent business within a supportive clinical community *What Is Included* As part of our collaborative practice model, you'll have access to: * The freedom to operate your own independent private practice. * Complete autonomy over your schedule, caseload, fees, and clinical approach. * Beautiful, fully furnished counselling offices in Kelowna and Vernon, ready for immediate use. * Professional reception and waiting areas for you and your clients. * An individual profile on the Relate & Restore website. * Shared marketing initiatives designed to increase visibility for both you and the practice. * Referral opportunities through the practice and professional network. * A collaborative team environment with opportunities for peer consultation, connection, and professional growth. * Opportunities to contribute to workshops, community initiatives, and the ongoing development of the practice. * Transparent fixed-fee pricing with no percentage split. *Who This Model Is For* This model is well suited to counsellors who: * Value both independence and professional community. * Want to build or grow a long-term private practice. * Appreciate having a professional office environment without t
