About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

So far I have been impressed, I have had a very negative view of mental health and medical professionals do to past experience but Edward in the short time I've been working with him has shown patience, compassion and understanding and what I can only assume is at least a small degree of mind reading while navigating what I'm trying to say or what might help. I've spoken highly of him to friends and my parents and have 100% recommended this platform to them.

Edward is a great listener and actively works with me on strategies to be better. He provides exercises I can do on my own time and supplemental reading that I can use between appointments.

Reviewed March 2022

I have never had professional mental counselling/therapy before. Ed made each therapy session very warm and welcoming. I received more help than the problem I originally brought with me. I learned that my entire life experience is relevant to my healing and I feel more than 100% myself. Now, I can go back into the real world and be my best and authentic self - being there for my family, friends, coworkers, neighbours, etc. I enjoy being alive so much! Thank you Ed! I can't thank you enough for your professional yet relaxed/laidback style of therapy experience!
