why online counselling?
convenience
continuity of services, anytime- anywhere, access to a broader range of professionals, reduced barriers, and increased autonomy
suitability
online counselling is not for everyone – in the initial session we will collaboratively review personal needs, goals, presenting issues,
internet speed, and private space
comfort
at-home sessions are proven to increase comfort and emotional processing both during and after online sessions
confidentiality
central to the counselling practice, both in-person and online services uphold the ethics of informed consent, confidentiality, and data collection
counselling that meets you where you are
walk&talk
exposure
nature
mind-body
skill building
get out of the house and into nature with a safe person that understands your fears and supports your journey
walking side-by-side in a natural environment can feel less intimidating and facilitate a more open discussion
empowering the connection between physical movement and cognitive processes to release tension
regular physical activity can lower cortisol levels, increase endorphins, and foster
long-term health benefits
