FAQs for Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers
Will my CAME be notified?
1
No. I do not notify Civil Aviation Medical Examiners or employers that you are attending counselling.
Information is only shared with your written consent, unless Canadian law requires reporting of imminent risk of serious harm.
Will you diagnose me?
2
As a counsellor, I do not provide formal psychiatric diagnoses. My work focuses on counselling support, emotional regulation, and helping individuals manage stress and uncertainty.
Could therapy jeopardize my medical?
3
Most counselling focuses on concerns such as anxiety management, stress regulation, adjustment, and relationship strain.
These concerns are common and often improve with early support.
Can you coordinate with my CAME?
4
Yes, if you request it. With your written consent, I can provide summaries outlining counselling focus and functional stability.
