Remote Counselling
Meet Online
Meeting online through a secure video platform can be an easy way to start your counselling journey. Virtual counselling can reduce barriers such as transportation, child care, and time constraints. It can also feel more comfortable for you to be in a space of your choosing while exploring sensitive topics. Research has shown that online counselling is as effective as in person counselling.
Have a Telephone Session
For some, video chats are not always comfortable. The phone offers another option for distance counselling. This can be done securely through the video chat program by turning off the video feature, or over the phone. Some clients find physical movement helpful and do a walk and talk while having their session. Confidentiality and recommended protocols are reviewed prior to any distance session to ensure the safe sharing of personal information outside the traditional office setting.
