Addiction Counseling

Is it difficult for you to attend therapy sessions in person?

Do you travel a lot as part of your job?

Do you live in a small community where seeking counselling might be problematic for you?

If any of the above are true for you, then Telephone Counselling might be a great alternative to in-person therapy sessions.

There are many people all over the world who wish they could receive therapy services, but who find it difficult to do so for any number of reasons. If you have been thinking about how you could benefit from counselling but have been putting it off because attending sessions in person would be difficult for you, you might want to consider Telephone Counselling as an alternative.

BENEFITS OF TELEPHONE COUNSELLING

* It allows you to receive counselling from the comfort of your own home or office.
* It provides you with an added degree of anonymity.
* You can have therapy sessions while travelling.
* You can receive counselling sessions regardless of what part of the world you live in.
* You can still benefit from therapy even if it is difficult for you to get to a therapist's office.

HOW DOES TELEPHONE COUNSELLING WORK?

As an Addictions Therapist in private practice, I have been providing clients with Telephone Counselling for a number of years. Although I often do not ever "meet" my clients in person because they do not live near me, having sessions with them by phone has proven to work remarkably well. We can still address the same issues by phone that we could deal with in during in-person sessions.

Some of the issues we can discuss by phone might include difficulties stemming from "addictive behaviours" such as:

* Alcohol & drug abuse
* Eating disorders
* Gambling
* Internet addiction
* Compulsive overspending
* Codependency in relationships

In addition, when a client travels (either for work or as part of a vacation) or has been seeing me in person but moves away from the Metro Vancouver area, sessions can continue. This means that my clients do not have to begin their therapeutic process all over again with a different therapist.
