How it works
Virtual therapy is a great option for people who are looking for more flexibility in their schedules.
Online counselling is a form of therapy that is delivered over the internet. It’s used to treat a variety of mental health issues and is a great option for people who have busy lifestyles and careers, live in remote areas or have difficulty accessing traditional forms of psychotherapy.
In most cases, virtual therapy works the same way as traditional counselling but rather than meeting in person, you’ll meet with your therapist through online video appointments. Your psychotherapist will ask you some questions about your history and current situation and will work with you to develop a treatment plan. Your therapist will also provide you with exercises and tasks to do between sessions.

Virtual therapy is a great option for people who are looking for more flexibility in their schedules.

Doing CBT and DBT online is becoming more and more common.
Our approach to online therapy
Doing CBT and DBT online is becoming more and more common.
Our mental health professionals offer several approaches to psychotherapy:
There is a growing trend of doing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) online. This is likely because it is a relatively short-term therapy that can be completed several sessions. It is also highly effective, which is why it is one of the most commonly prescribed therapies.
One study found that CBT delivered online was just as effective as face-to-face CBT for treating depression. The only difference was that the online participants were more likely to complete the treatment. CBT can be successfully delivered online and that it may be a good option for people who cannot or do not want to participate in traditional therapy.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) can be incredibly helpful for individuals who struggle with intense emotions and difficult behaviours. However, many people may not have access to a DBT therapist in their area. If you’re considering DBT but struggle with attending in-person appointments, online therapy may be a great option for you. DBT can be done virtually with Purposeful Change.
