Please use the form below to contact Leanne for specialized family law clinical and reporting services only. For general counselling services, please book through Coastality.
Services are offered in-person and by phone and virtual methods such as Colib, Zoom, and other similar and secure platforms. Many reporting services involving children/youth over the age of ten (10) can be conducted virtually, reducing barriers to access for families located outside of Greater Victoria/Vancouver Island.
In person, Leanne is pleased to provide service in Victoria, with private office space located Downtown and easily accessible from the James Bay, Fairfield, Oak Bay, Jubilee, Oaklands, Fernwood, Hillside, North Park, Quadra, and Vic West neighbourhoods, and a short drive from the communities of Esquimalt, Saanich, Colwood, Metchosin, Langford, Sooke and those on the Saanich Peninsula. Service can also be provided to other communities across Northern British Columbia, the Okanagan, Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and Sea-to-Sky corridor on a case-by-case basis.
Leanne Toews acknowledges that her work is primarily carried out on the unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) Peoples, including the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. She further acknowledges that her work across British Columbia takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of many Indigenous Nations, holding respect for the enduring relationships Indigenous Peoples have with their lands and the responsibilities that accompany carrying out professional work on these territories.

The BCACC does not make awards for compensation, nor does it require refunds, compel apologies, or provide civil remedies. Please visit their website by clicking on their name above to learn more about what they do and what services and options may be available to you.
Leanne Toews additionally holds professional designations and memberships with the ADR Institute of Canada (ADRIC) and the ADR Institute of British Columbia (ADRBC), which are credentialing and professional standards organizations for alternative dispute resolution practitioners. ADRIC and ADRBC similarly to the BCACC do not adjudicate client complaints, resolve contractual or fee disputes, or provide remedies such as compensation, apologies, or reversal of professional opinions or outcomes, except as may be expressly provided within a separately agreed dispute-resolution process.
