What to Expect: online therapy

It’s not easy to ask for help.

At Rivers Edge Counselling Centre, we want you feel as comfortable as possible in what may be a difficult time of life. We believe counselling should bring hope and healing to your life and not add undue stress. We have made every effort to create a welcoming, stress-free experience for individuals, couples and families to come for help.

The Right Fit

We know that therapy is only effective when there is the ‘right fit’ between client and therapist. Our admin support team works with each new client to ensure they are matched to the right therapist. See how we do it:

how does it work?

The length of sessions are generally 50min for individuals and 75min for couples and families. Therapists sometimes make other arrangements with clients, such as 30min sessions when it works better for the client’s needs.

Once our admin support team helps you find the right therapist, you will receive an email with all the instructions you need to get started. You will open an online portal for filling out forms and booking sessions. If you are meeting with your therapist by video, you will receive an email link to open at the time of your session. If you are meeting by phone, your therapist will call you at the time of you appointment. We make the process secure and easy, so you can focus on what is most important - getting the help you need and meeting your goals.

a safe and comfortable space

An advantage of online therapy is that you get to decide what is the right space for you. As long as you feel safe, comfortable, and confident that your confidentiality will be maintained, almost anywhere works. We have connected with clients in their homes, on secluded park benches, in their vehicle or office. Online counselling provides a convenience and sense of control that can make it the perfect experience for some clients.

wherever you are, We are here to help.
