PHONE COUNSELLING / THERAPY IN MISSISSAUGA

Don’t let your work schedule, location or transportation stand in your way.

Connect by phone. We know how!

Convenience: You don’t have to leave the comfort of your home or office. You can arrange a telephone appointment at your convenience – during the day or evening.

Accessibility: Your counsellor/therapist is available to help if you live in an area without any mental health practitioners available to you.
Anonymity: Some people find that they can trust much more quickly using phone counselling/coaching. It makes them feel comfortable. This means, in the right situation it is possible to accomplish more in a shorter time period with phone counselling/coaching than in a traditional face to face approach.

Phone counselling/therapy can provide the opportunity for reflection, self-exploration and insight.

People from other communities are now able to enjoy the full benefit and experience of our team through phone access.

Many people have trouble accessing in-office counselling/therapy due to restraints of time, geography or transportation issues.

Phone counselling/therapy might be the ideal solution for you, if you are unable to come into an office due to issues of mobility, illness or anxiety.

For some people, phone counselling/therapy provides professional support with a higher sense of anonymity. It allows one to experience higher levels of comfort and safety much sooner than face to face counselling/therapy.

Phone counselling/therapy allows help to come to YOU!!

Phone counselling/therapy has limitations that face to face counselling/therapy has readily available throughout the process. Facial expression and body language are important components of communication. A client may say they are fine when in actual fact they are anxious or sad. Facial expression and body language would traditionally fill in the blanks for the counsellor/therapist.

With phone counselling/therapy, it is important for the client to disclose as much as possible about their thoughts and their feelings.
