Online Counselling BC

Location doesn’t have to be a barrier to getting the support you need

You deserve to be happy regardless of where you live

At Sana we’re delighted to offer online counselling to all British Columbian residents. Online counselling has been proven to be an effective healing modality and is covered under most Canadian extended health plans. Lots of people prefer online counselling because of its accessibility and the ability to do therapy from the comfort of their own home.

For your virtual session, we recommend a private room with a door that closes, making a cup of tea, grabbing your journal, and scheduling time for yourself after your session to process your learnings. 

Online counselling could be for you if…

  • You’re a British Columbia resident
  • You have a busy schedule and can’t travel to see a counsellor
  • You live in a remote location and don’t have access to in-person counselling
  • You feel anxious or nervous leaving your house
  • You feel shame about going to counselling
  • You prefer having a counselling session from the comfort of your home
  • You would like access to more counsellors to find the person that is the right fit for you
  • You’re immuno-compromised
