Virtual Counselling and Psychotherapy

 We are pleased to offer the option of virtual counselling services.  This can be over the telephone or via secure online video throughout Ontario.  Both opinions are compliant with Ontario’s Privacy Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Our secure and easy to use video platform allows our counsellors to provide counselling sessions to clients across the province. 

You may wish to access virtual services if you are: 

 

 

  • You are staying at home to help prevent the spread of COVID-19
  • You are more comfortable communicating through technology
  • You are prevented from leaving your home due to physical or other challenges
  • Scheduling difficulties prevent regular office sessions
  • You travel extensively 
  • There are limited resources in your geographic area and no appropriate counsellors available

 

 

Teletherapy/Video Counselling Offers You: 

 

Individual, teen and couples counselling

 

  • Access to qualified and experienced counsellors/psychotherapists
  • Sessions in the privacy of your own home or office
  • No need to drive to and from an office
  • No need to get a baby-sitter if you have young children
  • No need to sit in a waiting room with others

 

 

It is important to recognize that distance counselling has its limitations and may not be the right choice in every situation, including the following: 

 

 

  • You are suicidal or in a safety crisis
  • Your internet connection is weak and unstable, or is not private or secure
  • You do not have access to a private and interruption-free setting
  • If you have depressive or anxious feelings that are severe and chronic and are not being treated by a medical professional
  • If you have a serious substance abuse issue or eating disorder, have been sexually abused and want to address the abuse in counselling, you sometimes lose touch with what is real or not, or have severe post-traumatic stress issues

 

Please note: If you are already seeing a counsellor, your online counsellor may wish to speak to your counsellor to assess if there are areas of duplication.
