Counseling


Counseling is effective because it is based on acceptance and willingness.

Both the counselor and the client approach the interaction from an open non-judgmental perspective.

Accepting ourselves as we currently are… and being willing to engage in a process of self-reflection, psycho-education and personal change brings positive momentum for growth into our lives.


Online Counseling sessions are as effective as traditional in-person clinic based therapy. The technology available is secure and purpose built for the task at hand, ensuring confidentiality and privacy.

Online sessions allow the client to connect from their own personal space and feel safe and secure without having to leave the privacy of their own environment.

Before committing to counseling, please read the “Consent to Treatment” policy that outlines the parameters in which counseling takes place. Your personal information is secure and will not be shared unless you consent.

Counseling sessions typically are 50 minutes in length and are charged at $95 USD. Transactions are via PayPal and charged after each session. Completion of payment must be made before any following appointments are confirmed.

Other more accessible options are available and outlined on the Schedule/Fees page.

This study provides compelling evidence that digital, web-based counseling environments for patients who are chronically ill are more effective than, or at least comparable to, standard counseling methods; this suggests that digital environments could complement standard counseling.
