Virtual Counselling is Legit!
I know what you may be thinking. It’s almost like I can hear the questions running on a loop in your brain.
Is Virtual Counselling the same as in-person? Will I get the same benefit meeting a practitioner over Zoom that I would if I was in their physical office space?
Believe me, I have asked myself the same question, many times.
Traditionally speaking, this type of work is done in a face to face setting. Can you find the same success if you’re not in person?
Here is the thing, were all in unprecedented times, things are different now.
To be honest, isn’t it a bit easier to run to your computer or phone for an appointment as opposed to having to rush to an office?
I think so, if anything, perhaps Counselling is even more accessible than it once was because of that very fact.
You can fit it into your schedule much easier, with far fewer obstacles than before. Making yourself a priority is as simple as clicking a button.
And, to me, I don’t care if you have to hide in your closet for our meeting.
What I care about is that you are putting yourself first and are serious about making those incredible life changes.
Heck, feel free to wear your pajamas, I want you to be COMFORTABLE, to show up exactly as you are.
Still Skeptical?
Maybe you’re still skeptical, wondering if I am some internet scammer that doesn’t know what she’s doing, claiming to be a counsellor but isn’t qualified.
Perhaps you are curious as to whether or not we can be successful if I cannot physically be in your presence.
Allow me to put some of those concerns to rest for you, the last thing I want is for you to think…
“Does she even have what it takes to support me? What makes her worth my time, energy, and personal investment?”
Here are some things I want you to know:
- I have been EXACTLY where you are, right now. I have navigated my own healing journey and have come out TRANSFORMED. I am, quite literally, an entirely different person and while it took a lot of work, the difference is astonishing (just ask anyone I know!)
- I am a licensed Supportive Counsellor in the Province of Ontario (and I’ve got the certificate to prove it). I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service workers (OCSWSSW)
- If your employer has Social Work Coverage included in their benefits package, you can OFFSET a portion of your investment when you work with me.
- Supporting you to the best of my ability does NOT require us to meet in person. I am confident in my ability to read your energy and your body language in the virtual space just as well as I would if you were sitting right in front of me.
- I have supported a myriad of different WOMEN, from all walks of life. Whether they were clients, colleagues, friends or family, people have been coming to me for YEARS seeking comfort within the judgement free container I can hold for them.
It is for that reason that I sought the entrepreneurial path, combining my professional experience with personal and creating a program which, I feel, is both nurturing and transformational.
Hopefully this post soothes some of your concerns.
I can assure you, Virtual Counselling is legit and TRANSFORMATIVE.
