Online Counselling

What is Online Counselling?

Online counselling is a form of therapy that is conducted over the internet. Specifically, at Calgary Couples Counselling Centre, it allows clients to communicate with their therapist through video conferencing. Online counselling is a convenient and flexible option for people who are unable to attend in-person counselling sessions due to geographic, physical, or time constraints.

How Much of Our Counselling is Done Online?

For two years during the height of the COVID pandemic, all of our counselling sessions were conducted in an online format. Since then, however, about 25% of all of our sessions are online, and this appears to have stabilized in the last year (as of March 2023).

How Online Counselling Works at the Calgary Couples Counselling Centre Inc.

At the Calgary Couples Counselling Centre Inc., we offer online counselling services to individuals, couples, and families. Our online counselling sessions are conducted through a secure video conferencing platform called JaneApp. It is easy to use and provides a high-quality video and audio experience.

To begin online counselling with us, clients simply need to book an appointment through our website or by contacting us directly. Once the appointment is confirmed, we will send clients a link to the video conferencing platform, along with instructions on how to access it. During the session, clients will communicate with their therapist through the video conferencing platform.

Benefits of Online Counselling

Online Counselling

Convenience

Online counselling is a convenient option for individuals who have busy schedules or live in remote areas. It eliminates the need for travel time and allows clients to attend counselling sessions from the comfort of their own homes.

Flexibility

Online counselling offers greater flexibility than traditional in-person counselling. Clients can schedule sessions at a time that is convenient for them.

Accessibility

Online counselling is an accessible option for individuals who may have physical disabilities or mobility issues. It also removes any barriers that may prevent clients from attending in-person counselling sessions, such as transportation issues or childcare responsibilities.

Confidentiality

Online counselling is a confidential option for individuals who may feel uncomfortable attending in-person counselling sessions. It allows clients to communicate with their therapist from the privacy of their own homes, which may reduce feelings of anxiety or discomfort about attending in person.
