Which Option is Best:
Phone or Virtual Counselling?

Both options are effective and offer unique benefits. The best choice is the one that feels most supportive for you.

Virtual/Online Counselling may be ideal if you:

  • Prefer face-to-face interaction through video
  • Want the convenience of receiving support without leaving home or when travelling
  • Need flexibility to access services around work, school, or family commitments

Telephone Counselling may be ideal if you:

  • Feel more comfortable speaking without appearing on video
  • You are travelling or need a simple non-Internet-based option
  • Prefer telephone-based supports that fit into a busy or changing schedule

Many clients in Belle-Baie choose a mix of both options, depending on their needs.

What to Expect in Your First Counselling Session

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, and some people in Belle-Baie may feel unsure before their first session — that’s completely normal. Your first appointment will be a conversation focused on gathering information to get to know you. Your counsellor will explore your service needs and your goals in counselling and will provide the opportunity to share in a safe and confidential environment.

There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. Together, you’ll begin exploring coping strategies tailored to your needs and circumstances

With SAGE SmartMatch®, we help ensure the counsellor you meet is a good fit for your needs. Most people finish their first session feeling heard, supported, and encouraged about their path forward.
