Online counselling in the Northwest Territories
If you’ll be in Yellowknife, Inuvik or another NWT community for your appointment, you can ask Wellspring about meeting a counsellor by video. We’ll confirm who can work with you in the territory before you choose an appointment.
Finding someone you’d like to talk to
You might know you want help with grief, but be unsure what you’d say in a first session. You can use a free 15-minute consultation to ask how the counsellor would help you get started. Listen for whether they give you room to find your own words and whether their answer feels helpful.
What if your schedule takes you between communities?
Tell us which community you’ll be in and when you have a private place for a call. If you divide your time between the NWT and another province or territory, tell your counsellor before a change of location. You can ask about the session fee, appointment times and what to do if your internet connection drops.
Before a paid appointment, check the fee for your chosen counsellor and ask your insurer whether your plan covers their professional designation.
Prefer a counsellor in your region?
