When we connect on a virtual platform, it allows us to meet face-to-face by video, in the comfort of your own home or preferred location. I will provide you with a link to enter the secure, online video Zoom platform for our designated meeting time. The Zoom platform is PHIPA and PIPEDA compliant. It's good practice to test your device ahead of time to make sure the audio and video settings work, and that you have a strong internet connection, so we can utilize our time effectively. 

I will meet you online in my private office space and use head phones to maintain confidentiality. You will be responsible for your space, wherever you choose to take the virtual session to ensure it's a private space you feel comfortable talking. There is always the potential risk for video session, which you can find more information in the informed consent agreement.   

Some clients choose to meet online from home, work, walking or sitting inside a parked vehicle for privacy. Ensuring a quiet space will support you, in getting the most out of our time together. Sometimes, technology glitches or fails completely. In this case I will follow-up with you by phone.

There are no commitments apart from the appointment you book. I provide single session therapy using Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which means each conversation we have has the potential to make a desired difference in your life. This means you decide when and how often we meet. I am happy to support you through the decision process, if you would find that helpful. 

"...Despite traditional theoretical biases..., evidence shows that there is no established direct correlation between the severity and duration of a problem and the duration of effective treatment... Current research does not support... that success should be equated with the length of therapy rather than the quality of therapy..." More details on this can be found here, if you are interested. 

You can choose to schedule a follow-up appointment with me at the end of our session, or you can book online at your convenience, when you would find it useful to meet again. Please note you will be able to reschedule with a quick email, I just ask that you reschedule as soon as possible or that you give at least 24 hours notice to respect the chance for others to access the time slot and/or to respect my family time. Thank you!

Brief within (SFBT) refers to 'therapy does not last one session longer than the client thinks is needed in order to achieve their desired outcome.'
