The Way Forward
Personal and professional responsibilities can make it super hard to prioritize your mental health. There are barriers there that get in the way!
Advances in technology, security and communication has made access inclusive to those seeking mental health services from home or rural settings. Online counselling provides convenience of counselling from home. For many clients, this can be very comforting – you are in your familiar setting, a place where you can feel safe and secure.
By now, we know that the research evidence is clear: for the majority of clients, video counselling is as effective as in-office sessions.
Who can benefit from telepsychology?
Many people can benefit from online counselling, such as:
- Clients with busy schedules (work demands, family responsibilities, etc.) as virtual counselling removes travel time, fuel cost, stress associated with commuting and scheduling.
- Individuals who may not have access to registered psychologists in their community, such as those living in rural Alberta or British Columbia.
- Clients who want to prioritize their mental health, limit barriers, and maintain their daily routine and schedule.
Easy. Safe. Secure!
To ensure the best telehealth session, you will need access to a laptop, desktop computer, a phone and a strong WIFI internet connection.
