Benefits of Distance Counselling:

Access to professional clinical counsellors and transpersonal psychotherapists
with more than 22 combined years experience working with healing:
  • Trauma (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual experiences that leave a personally significant wound or scar)
  • Relationships (deepening contact, endings, creating friendships)
  • Abuse (physical, emotional, mental, sexual)
  • Life change (career, location, habits/patterns)
  • Disease and healing (causal awareness and practices to encourage healing)
  • Grief and loss (facing terminal diagnoses, communicating grief, forgiveness, letting go)
  • Spiritual emergency and emergence (spiritual overwhelm, energy rushes/kundalini, confusing realities, direct experiences of the Divine or of one's Essential Self, and how to discover the gifts of these experiences)
  • Non-ordinary experiences (near-death and out-of-body experiences, psychic phenomena, precognitive dreams, after-life communication, disconnection, lack of full-embodiment) 
  • Loss of sense of self (Who am I? What is my purpose?)
  • Spiritual growth practices (meditation, relaxation, breath work, deep guided visioning)
  • All life issues that arise while navigating the daily human experience

Affordable and negotiable rates:

Individual counselling rate: 1 hr session $95.00 (12% HST included)

Please note: If you are unable to pay the hourly rate we also have some openings available on a sliding scale. These rates are negotiated on an individual basis according to financial need. 

We ask individuals who are: employed full-time (at more than minimum wage jobs); are fully supported by family or friends; or have third-party coverage, to pay our full rate.  Our student rate is $75 (HST incl). Our disability and pensioner rate is $65 (HST incl).  Please feel free to discuss your personal financial needs with us.  We will certainly negotiate our rates when individuals are truly interested in doing their personal work.

The process of distance counselling:
  • Distance counselling is confidential and safe
  • Telephone sessions offer a degree of anonymity with the same one-to-one contact
  • Internet video sessions (i.e. Skype) allow us to see each other's non-verbal communications, especially if the session includes our teaching you specific breath or meditation practices
  • We personally find it quite easy to make a connection with another whether in-person, via telephone or using internet video
  • We are very aware of the energy that we all are, and this helps us to connect on a deeper level with people no matter the format of the communication
  • We will arrange a mutually convenient time to talk, discuss telephone versus internet video options and any details about Skype that you may not be aware of, and you will call us at the scheduled time
  • Email follow-up contact is also available
  • Payment can be made by bank email money transfer or through PayPal using my email address.  You may also pay by cheque.
