Who Chooses Virtual Therapy?
- Patients traveling or on vacation
- Shut-ins and those living in assisted care
- Seniors
- Those with mobility Issues
- Busy executives
- People who do not live in the Toronto area but who want to access expert care
- Sometimes a form of e-counselling can support a face-to-face client who is traveling, on extended leave or is unable to make their usual meeting with their therapist.
And Online Counselling provides you with:
- Comfort of your own home or office
- Convenience
- No travel time

- In todays world of advancing technology some people find it a bit easier to discuss their lives through technology. On-line and e-mail therapy can be a more comfortable fit for some people.
Web based counselling is best suited to coaching and counselling and is not to be considered a substitute for face-to-face psychotherapy.

Email Counselling
Email counseling is a form of counselling that can provide you support and guidance and is best suited to coaching or counselling for smaller specific issues. Email affords us both the chance to think through what we say and how we say it. This can lead to a more profound, insightful and careful conversation.
Virtual Counselling / Psychotherapy can be done through your personal email, or using other more secure and free email sites like Hush email or Sendic.* Your email is responded to by a certified therapist who will provide you with a customized and holistic approach to help you find solutions to your issues of concern. There is no need to leave your home or office!
Appointments are pre-paid here. Once you have purchased a block of emails you will be sent an introductory email to which you can response with your concern or issue. The therapist will in turn reply to your email. Each email after the introduction, sent by the therapist, is considered one email session. Purchase your emails(s) here.
