​

Counselling from your home, car or wherever you are.

​

Convenient and confidential, video or audio counselling offers the opportunity to connect with a secure counselling session through a private video chat on your smartphone, tablet or computer. Work, travel or busy schedules can make it difficult to get in for face to face appointments.  Video counselling appointments are a convenient way of meeting you where you are. Contact for more information and to set up your sessions.

​

Any of your counselling sessions can be set up, or existing in person sessions can be modified to a secure video session through our practice management system. Our secure practice management system will generate a personalized, secure link that will be automatically sent directly to you through our appointment confirmation and reminders system - so that you receive the link by text and email. 

​

Why choose video counselling:

​

• The opportunity to work on the same therapeutic goals as a face to face session.

• Connection in real time. 

• Convenient – you can access your counselling session from anywhere you are with internet connection.

• Reduces travel time for sessions. This can offer some relief when you already struggle to find enough hours in the day with everything on your plate.

• PEI weather can be unpredictable - online counselling is available even when you can't make it in person!
