Frequently Asked Questions
What is virtual therapy, and how does it work?
Unlike in-person therapy, virtual therapy is a one-to-one counselling approach delivered through secure online video sessions, allowing you to explore challenges, strengthen coping strategies, and receive emotionally focused therapy and personalized support from anywhere.
Is virtual counselling effective for addiction and mental health?
Yes. Virtual counselling provides evidence-informed emotional support that helps you understand patterns, manage stress, and navigate mental health or substance-use-related concerns. Our mental health services are accessible and evidence-based.
What do Virtual therapy sessions include?
Virtual or online therapy sessions may include reflective exercises, emotional support, recovery education, learning conflict resolution skills, coping strategies, and guidance tailored to your personal goals.
Is it better to attend online couples counselling as a couple or solo?
Both options can be helpful, and the best choice depends on your goals and what feels safest for your relationship. Many couples seek therapy to learn new communication skills, understand each other’s experiences, and work toward shared goals with the support of a therapist.
How does marriage counselling differ from couples therapy?
Marriage counselling typically focuses on issues within a committed or long-term partnership, such as communication challenges, recurring conflicts, or disconnection, and aims to strengthen the relationship as a whole. Virtual couples therapy is a broader service that supports any two partners, whether married, dating, living together, or navigating early stages of a relationship, and may address mental health, substance use, emotional patterns, or specific events affecting the relationship.
