Video & online Counselling: Therapy FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME

Is Video (online) counselling or E-therapy a good choice for you?

With the  recent changes in our global landscape, being able to access counselling services from the safety and comfort of one’s home has become very desirable.  
In my counselling practice, I  have been offering and using distance counselling also known as e-therapy, e-counseling, Teletherapy or Telehealth, to individuals and couples long before COVID. 
For the last 6 years I have been working with  individual clients and couples using video counselling and phone therapy across Canada and internationallyVideo Counselling works well for relationship therapy

It is a well known fact that an important contributing factor for a successful counselling experience is the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client. 
Whether we meet in person or virtually, you can rest assured that I take a lot a care to set up our sessions in such a way, that they are a “safe container.”
While a physical meeting with a therapist may be the preferred choice, even “reluctant” couples or individuals seeking therapy, who decided to give video counselling a try, were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they felt. 

From a therapeutic point of view, video counselling is very effective and certainly the next-best alternative to in person therapy. 

Online therapy / Video counselling or Phone counselling may be a good choice for you if these potential benefits criteria  resonate with you:

  • You like to save the travel time to appointments and this might make scheduling easier for you
  • You might be able to organize childcare more easily
  • You are in your “real life” environment and many couples report that it feels almost easier to integrate the tools or insights discussed during the session
  • You and your partner can participate in shared sessions even if you are currently not living in the same home or are not at the same location at the time of the appointment
  • You enjoy and are comfortable talking on the phone. You like connecting with others on the phone
  • It is difficult for you to leave your home due to disability, care-giving responsibilities, or some other reason
  • You live in an isolated area where there are few or no licensed or certified helping professionals
  • You are too busy to spend time commuting to a therapist’s office
  • You are uncomfortable around people, but think you might be able to open up on the phone or in an online relationship with a caring therapist
  • You are in the military and want safe and confidential access to support with stresses and family issues
  • You and your spouse or partner want to work as a couple on your marriage or relationship, but you are currently located in different communities, states, or countries
