Online Counselling

In today's uncertain and unsafe world, the time will come where you may need compassionate support, and a familiar place to talk to someone who can truly understand.

Modern technology can now facilitate the way you connect and seek out professional mental health care.  So much so, that many people prefer online counselling from the comfort of their own surroundings, be it their home or office.

 

Being in your own space can sometimes create a level of safety and depth that is not always available during in-person therapy.  In addition, online counselling potentially allows more flexibility with your schedule too.

 

​All you need is good internet connection, a computer, tablet, or smartphone - and we will help with the rest!

Online therapy is not only for individuals, but also works just as effectively with couples too!  We have software that can brings us all together, even if your partner is in a different geographical location to you.

You can be rest assured that you are safe with a Vida Relationships counsellor.  We are trained to a rigorous standard, and are experienced in delivering an exceptional, genuinely caring online container for you.

Get in touch with us today and make an appointment with the counsellor of your choice.
