APPROACH
to services
Home-Based Psychotherapy
Solis Counselling Services provides individual, EMDR and family counselling from the comfort of your own home. This ensures client confidentiality and limits barriers to receiving services, such as mobility issues, finding child care, and travel. In addition, home-based counselling can be especially effective for young children who are participating in therapy for the first time.
Electronic Psychotherapy
Solis Counselling Services also offers electronic counselling services for those who are located in remote locations or are unable to meet in person. Electronic psychotherapy is primarily conducted using video calling, but may be conducted using telephone or messaging in some circumstances. Video calling is done using an encrypted, PHIPA-approved platform.
