The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.

Videoconferencing Sessions
Online sessions are conducted through Doxy.me a secure, end to end encrypted telemedicine server. What that means is it is confidential. It is designed for convenient and effective face to face conversations. With the HD picture you will feel like we are in the same room.
Your privacy is important
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the counselling relationship. Being able to share your stories and personal experience in a safe way is ensured with a Doxy online session. Here are some privacy details:
-
Doxy does not store your personal information. No log in details are required. You simply click a link which takes you directly to my virtual waiting room.
-
The servers are PHIPA and PIPEDA compliant (regulation for the way Canadian patient health information is stored). But no information is stored which makes it particularly secure.
-
End-to-end encryption ensures our call is shared between provider and patient only.
This is the time to be slow,
Lie low to the wall
Until the bitter weather passes.
Try, as best you can, not to let
The wire brush of doubt
Scrape from your heart
All sense of yourself
And your hesitant light.
If you remain generous,
Time will come good;
And you will find your feet
Again on fresh pastures of promise,
Where the air will be kind
And blushed with beginning.
