Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can change as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or those who prefer not to use audio, and they make it easier to schedule therapy around work and daily life.
