Online Counselling in BC

Online clinical counselling is available to individuals across British Columbia (BC). Virtual counselling provides secure, confidential mental health support for youth and adults who want flexibility and convenience.

Online counselling is especially beneficial for those who need:

• Flexible scheduling for busy professionals and families

• Access to counselling in rural and remote areas of British Columbia

• No commute or transportation barriers

• Increased comfort in your own home environment

Confidentiality is an essential part of the counselling process. Online sessions are conducted through secure platforms designed to protect your privacy.

To enhance confidentiality during your session:

• Use headphones

• Choose a private room

• Schedule sessions when others are not home

• Sit in your vehicle

• Go for a walk during phone sessions
  
  

To increase comfort during online counselling sessions, you are encouraged to have a simple, mindless activity available, such as fidgets, colouring, Lego, knitting, or doodling. Engaging in a hands-on activity during virtual counselling can help maintain focus, reduce feelings of self-consciousness on video, and create a more relaxed experience overall.
