Evidence-based Therapy Via Interactive Spaces & online platforms & Games
Counselling in Online Platforms & Games
Therapy for Children, Teens, Young Adults & Adults
Counselling through interactive platforms & games like Minecraft, Fortnite & Roblox can provide a supportive digital environment where participants can work toward their goals with the guidance of a therapist.
There’s no commitment required, we simply ask that you begin with an onboarding assessment plus one session to trial the service. This allows you to experience our support with the option to continue if desired.
At any time, therapy provided in interactive platforms can be adjusted to more traditional counselling approaches, while allowing the option to return to interactive therapy when ready.
Individual / Group Therapy
1:1 ratio Private Therapy are private individual 1-to-1 sessions ideal for those looking to improve mental health and work towards their goals.
2:2 ratio Group Therapy allows for multiple participants and multiple therapists to provide a unique group experience. By using a 2-to-2 ratio format (2 participants and 2 therapists) allows each participant to have their own therapist for the entire session. This allows for enhanced support and supervision while others in developing social skills and communication. This is great for Filial therapy including building sibling connections or for blended families.
1:2 ratio Group (Paired) Therapy sessions are available for only those who also opt for private (1-to-1) therapy. This is so we can effectively match participants with the most suitable therapist and group while being able to provide effective counselling to the enrolling participant. This allows a therapist to work on individual goals privately. In a
group setting, the therapist will work on aligned social goals between
the participants. All participants requesting groups are required to be entered into an Program of Support. Read more about a PoS.

From time to time, we may also complete a review assessment to check that your goals and plan are still relevant. These are charged at the hourly rate of the type of therapist conducting the assessment.
Our session fees cover your therapy, reasonable work, coordination and correspondence. Where these duties go beyond this time, additional charges may apply. This includes things outside of session such as clinical questions, calls, plan-changes, and repeated coordination requests for example. You will be informed when an additional charge will take place. Full details are set out in our Additional Services Policy and our Schedule of Fees.

Program of Support for Group Sessions
Groups and Weekend Programs are delivered under a Program of Support (PoS).
This helps us provide stable, consistent group experiences while factoring in planning, therapist time, group structure, and outcomes more effectively, while giving families peace of mind around costs and scheduling.
Even if a participant misses a session, they will still be charged for the session supporting continuity, structure, and engagement for everyone involved. Read more about a PoS.
Set-up, Technical Issues & Reporting
Online platforms require occasional setup. Internet dropouts or technical issues may also occur. Our therapist takes notes during sessions, which is factored into the session duration. A small portion of each session will be spent on these necessary activities.
