Same registered psychotherapists, same evidence-based care — from wherever you are in Ontario. Virtual counselling removes the commute, the waiting room and half the excuses not to start.
Virtual counselling is therapy delivered by secure, private video with a registered psychotherapist. Research consistently shows online therapy matches in-person outcomes for most concerns — anxiety, depression, couples work and more. You'll need a private space and a stable connection; we handle everything else, including secure platforms and simple booking.
At Counselling Toronto — by McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare — every counsellor is a registered psychotherapist or supervised clinician, and every plan starts with a free consultation so you know the fit, the approach and the cost before committing to anything.
You don't need a crisis to benefit from counselling. If any of these feel familiar, a free consultation is a low-stakes way to find out what support could look like.
No single method fits everyone. Your counsellor draws on approaches with real research behind them — and adjusts to how you work best.
Privacy-compliant platforms, never consumer apps; your therapist meets you from a private room and nothing is recorded.
CBT, EFT, trauma-informed work — the modality doesn't change with the medium, and research shows comparable outcomes.
Video most weeks, in person when it suits; switch anytime without changing therapists.
Tell us what's going on and what you're hoping for. No commitment, no cost.
We match you with a registered psychotherapist who fits your needs and style.
Start weekly or bi-weekly sessions, in person in Toronto or by secure video.
Booking works exactly like in-person: free consultation first, then a secure video link for each session. Your therapist will help you set up a private, comfortable space on your end. Many clients mix formats — video most weeks, in person in Toronto when it suits.
Master's-level clinicians under close clinical supervision — quality care at the most accessible rate.
The most popular choice for online counselling — covered by most extended health plans.
Senior clinicians for complex or specialized work. Receipts provided for insurance.
Most extended health plans in Ontario cover registered psychotherapists — check your plan's "psychotherapist" or "mental health" coverage. OHIP does not cover psychotherapy. A free consultation always comes first, so there are no surprises.
Comfortable, private offices with evening and weekend availability. In-person care is also available at our Toronto, Brampton and Mississauga locations.
Secure, privacy-compliant video sessions with the same registered psychotherapists. Ideal for busy schedules, parents, and anyone outside Toronto.
Our Toronto clients come from every corner of the city — downtown professionals booking sessions around Bay Street hours, families in North York and Etobicoke, students near the universities, and newcomers settling into one of the most diverse cities in the world. Evening and weekend appointments make in-person sessions workable around TTC commutes, and secure video fills the gaps when getting across town isn't realistic.
No referral, no waitlist. Book a free consultation, or let us match you with the right counsellor in Toronto.
