Virtual Therapy
All platforms used by Self Love Counselling are PIPEDA compliant.
Virtual Therapy Wherever You Are
Virtual therapy, sometimes called online counselling or telehealth, allows you to meet with a therapist from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you feel most at ease. For many clients, online therapy makes it easier to access support without the commute, traffic, or need to rearrange an already busy schedule.
Virtual sessions are secure, confidential, and just as effective as in-person therapy. Research shows that online counselling works well for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges.
Virtual counselling may be a good fit if you:
Live in a rural or remote area with limited access to therapy
Work shift hours or irregular schedules that make in-person sessions difficult
Prefer the privacy of meeting from your own space
Have mobility or health challenges that make travel harder
Want the convenience of logging in from anywhere in Alberta, or across Canada
In my practice, I strive to make virtual sessions feel as comfortable and personal as sitting together in an office. We’ll use secure video software that is simple to access, and you can choose whether to connect by computer, tablet, or phone.
Virtual therapy is flexible, secure, and accessible from the comfort of your own space. Whether you’re in Edmonton or anywhere in Canada, support is just a click away.
What’s Included
Convenience
Life can be busy, and many people appreciate the ease of virtual therapy. As long as the session is set in a safe, private place, free from distraction, therapy can happen anywhere (within the therapist’s scope of jurisdiction).
Comfort
It can be anxiety-inducing to attend therapy in general, let alone in person, and some may feel more comfortable participating in their own homes.
Accessibility
For those living in rural or remote areas, there may be a lack of therapist availability, or concerns about confidentiality. Teletherapy is also great for those with limited transportation options or for those who work away.
