I’m an existential (online) psychotherapist, writer, and researcher. My Specializations As an existential therapist, I work with issues around identity and life purpose. I believe that people are always in a state of becoming. New life stages or circumstances can throw us off balance and make us realize we have new work to do. These are not setbacks, they are part of the natural flow of life. Figuring out how to be human in this world is an ongoing process, full of big questions. I hope to offer a space for you to be seen, appreciated, and partnered with in your explorations of these questions. My job—which I love!—is to help you reconnect with life and take up your existence. I consider it an honour to journey alongside you as you rediscover (or find for the first time) who you are and how you want to live in this world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea12037986dad560581bd18/9939d656-371f-4ef5-81fd-98aeb16e20ed/54DEAA60-3164-4A86-BB43-FABA3CE6808F.jpeg Home https://www.vanessaborkcounselling.com/services daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea12037986dad560581bd18/1596494860396-WEH4A407HQCV8N6062W5/IMG_3488.JPG Online Therapy and Consultation - What is online psychotherapy, and is it right for me? In a nutshell, this means all of our sessions will be held over secure video chat. This way you can meet with me from wherever is best for you at the time. Research shows that online counselling is just as effective as in-person counselling. As a person living with a physical disability (I use an electric wheelchair), I know it can sometimes be quite cumbersome to get to in-person appointments. Everyone faces obstacles of their own, even beyond physical abilities. I see online therapy as a way to eliminate some of these obstacles and make counselling more feasible to a person who otherwise may be unable to access counselling services at all. This is a great option for anyone needing more flexibility. Online therapy could be a good fit for you if: You have a busy schedule and are looking to participate in counselling—without the added commute time. If you travel a lot and are often on-the-go or in different places. You have health issues (e.g., physical disability or illness, severe depression or anxiety) that makes it difficult for you to get out of the house or make your way around town. You are more comfortable seeking help from the comfort of your own home You do not have access to suitable counselling services in your area. It is simply your preference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea12037986dad560581bd18/1596494957009-WVJY28N92RQDQ5TW1CHE/IMG_3491.JPG Online Therapy and Consultation - Rates Free 15-minute Consult This is a one-time opportunity for prospective clients to test out the video-chat format, meet me, and ask any questions they may have about therapy.
