Mental Health Counselling and Virtual Care Physiotherapy

Counselling is a broad term that can included trauma therapy, as well as talk therapy, learning coping skills, and exploring your past. Trauma therapy is a specific form of counselling that addresses the root of the problem using a variety of specific trauma processing therapies. These therapies are designed to support you in processing memories and experiences that are stuck in your body that make it feel like those experiences are still happening. These therapies activate both your body and brain to help you release the impacts of those stressful and traumatic experiences. Our counsellors are trained a variety of different therapies that support trauma processing (Lifespan Integration Therapy, EMDR, OEI, art therapy). Ask about them in your consultation call to see if they might be a fit for you.

• Therapy is tailored to the individual which means that depending on your schedule, your finances and how you process information sessions can be spaced out accordingly. Starting with weekly or bi-weekly sessions is what we suggests when you being counselling.
• The number of sessions is dependent on your goals in counselling which can make it tricky to give a number. This is a question to ask in your consultation call to get an estimate.

Some people like having things to work on in between sessions and others want the space to process more organically. Depending on your goals in therapy your therapist may ask you to try different things between sessions. Your therapist is available to answer basic questions via email between sessions, but we ask that you reserve sharing detailed information or complex questions for your next session.

The psychological therapy processes have a highly variable duration, which depends on multiple factors, such as the severity of the existing problems, the therapeutic goals, psychosocial environment, etc.
