Therapy at your leisure

Virtual counselling, also known as teletherapy or online counselling, is a form of therapy that takes place remotely, usually through video conferencing software. As we like to say at Balanced Health, 'your space, your pace, virtual counselling'

Let's look at some of the benefits of virtual counselling:

Accessibility

Virtual counselling can be accessed from anywhere, as long as there is an internet connection. This means individuals who live in rural or remote areas, or who have mobility or transportation issues, can still receive counselling services.

Convenience

Virtual counselling eliminates the need for individuals to travel to appointments, which can be particularly helpful for those with busy schedules or who live far from their therapist's office.

Increased comfort

For some individuals, the idea of attending an in-person counselling session can be intimidating or uncomfortable. Virtual counselling provides a more private and familiar environment, which can help individuals feel more at ease.

Cost-effectiveness

Virtual counselling can be less expensive than traditional in-person counselling, as it eliminates the cost of commuting and reduces overhead expenses for the therapist.

Flexibility

Virtual counselling sessions can be scheduled outside of traditional office hours, which can be particularly helpful for those who work full-time or have other commitments during the day.

Increased anonymity

For individuals who prefer to keep their therapy private, virtual counselling can provide increased anonymity and reduce the risk of being recognized in a therapist's waiting room.

At Balanced Health, our goal is to make counselling services accessible to everyone and anyone. Virtual counseling is a valuable and achievable form of therapy that provides individuals with the support they need to improve their mental health and well-being from anywhere.
