Virtual Counselling

Virtual Counselling - therapy provided over the telephone or in an online video chat session - is not new.

However, it has quickly become a safe, practical alternative to in-office counselling care.

Benefits of receiving virtual counselling:

  • Ease of access for people living in more remote locations with limited options for mental health care
  • Convenience of speaking with a caring professional without having to leave your home
  • Safe and confidential counselling sessions – Zoom for Healthcare® offers a secure video counselling platform that is compliant with Canadian Federal Privacy Law (PIPEDA)

*I have completed certification in Online Counselling Fundamentals for the ethical practice of virtual counselling  

How does virtual counselling work?

Please Contact Me with your email address, telephone number and preferred form of contact. Your contact information is never shared and is stored on a secure server.

 

I will respond to you within 24 hours so that we can choose a convenient time to connect. The first 15-minute session is free of charge to allow us the opportunity to see if we are a good fit. Moving forward, I will contact you for each counselling session by telephone or video call at our pre-arranged date and time.

How much does it cost?

My rates are based on the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors billing recommendations

Individual online therapy sessions (per 55-minute session) - $140

Couples and Family online therapy sessions (per 55-minute session) - $160

What if I have to cancel?
Please send me a message by email 24 hours in advance of the counselling session if you need to cancel for any reason. Counselling sessions cancelled less than 24 hours in advance will be billed at 50% of the agreed upon rate. Your counselling session is reserved exclusively for you and therefore is not available to others at late notice.

Let’s connect.

Please fill out the contact form to arrange a 15-minute consultation at no charge.
