What are the advantages of choosing (eCounseling)?

• Availability - Online counseling is accessible anywhere internet access is provided. It is an excellent way for you to access counseling if you are too busy throughout the day to get to an appointment, are housebound or live in a community where counseling resources are limited or perhaps not available.
• Convenience - There is no need to set up appointment times, sessions are not limited to a certain length of time and you can participate at your own pace.
• Anoynmity - With online counseling you do not need to worry about meeting face-to-face. Also, you may find it easier to communicate and express yourself more honestly.
• Self-reflection - Because the exchange of emails will be written over a series of days or perhaps even weeks, this will allow you the time to review the exchanges, time and time again. As well, it will allow you to compose your thoughts, edit what you write, and stop your writing to take a breather if you need to.

Issues that can be effectively addressed through eCounseling include stress management, anger management, anxiety, assertiveness, blended family issues, work stresses, conflict resolution, grief, parenting and low self-esteem.
