Choose privacy
Use headphones where helpful and select a space where others cannot overhear your conversation.
Online sessions
Online counselling across Canada
Connect with Dawn from a private space when travelling to Victoria is not practical, while keeping the same collaborative and trauma-informed approach.
Flexible access
Care that can meet you where you are.
Online counselling may reduce travel, fit more easily around work or caregiving, and allow you to meet from a familiar environment. The clinical relationship remains central: sessions are paced with care, and the method is adapted to your goals and capacity.
The specific video platform was not confirmed during intake and is therefore not named on this site. Connection instructions, privacy expectations, and a backup plan are discussed directly before an online appointment.
Confirm your location
Your current location supports an appropriate emergency plan if safety concerns arise during a session.
Prepare a backup
Keep your phone available and agree on what will happen if the video or internet connection is interrupted.

Before beginning online care, you and Dawn can clarify a backup communication plan so you know what to do if audio, video, or internet access is interrupted.
