VIRTUAL COUNSELLING
IS VIRTUAL COUNSELLING AS EFFECTIVE AS IN PERSON?
The short answer is yes.
​
Multiple studies have shown that virtual counselling is as effective as in-person counselling for a variety of mental health conditions.
​
With virtual counselling, we take the same approach of prioritizing the therapeutic relationship and using evidence-based specialties. We use secure video platforms to ensure privacy and safety.
REASONS TO CHOOSE VIRTUAL COUNSELLING
-
Convenient: You don't have to drive across town
-
Comfortable: You can stay in pajamas, cozy up with a blanket or pet, and be in the comfort of your own home
-
Access from anywhere: You can be anywhere in BC and receive quality counselling services
-
Fits your busy schedule: You can fit an online session into your day at whatever time is convenient for you.
-
An option when abilities are limited: If you're sick, injured, can't find childcare, or are simply not feeling like getting out of the house, online counselling can still be utilized.
CAN EMDR AND DBT THERAPY BE DONE VIRTUALLY?
Yes!
​
​
All therapy specialties we utilize can be done virtually.
​
​
We even have a special program for virtual EMDR that makes it easily accessible with a pair of headphones and a computer. If you are hearing impaired, or do not have access to headphones and a computer, there are other ways we can still effectively administer EMDR therapy, such as tapping and eye-movements.
