All About Bloom iCounseling
Bloom where you are planted
Bloom iCounselling provides online counselling to individuals who are looking to live happier and healthier lives. I help people live more fulfilled and happier lives by helping each individual take advantage of the opportunities they have in their life and be grateful for the present situation. I use mindfulness based strategies, client centered approaches and relational practice including solution focused and narrative theoretical frameworks to help individuals work through their struggles. iCounselling allows individuals to access counseling services from anywhere so that time, location and busy schedules does not stop someone from getting the private counselling they need.
iCounselling is not for everyone. If you are struggling with any safety concerns such as suicidal thoughts or concerned about the safety of yourself or others please contact your local police or crisis hotline.
Insurance invoices can be provided for reimbursement of service. Please check with your insurance provider if you have this covered under extended health.
"wherever you go, there you are. Whatever you wind up doing, that's what you've wound up doing. Whatever you are thinking right now, that's what's on your mind. Whatever has happened to you, it has already happened. The important question is..."Now what?"

Counseling Methods
Are you struggling with anxiety? Feeling overwhelmed with "everything and nothing at the same time"? Are you noticing repeated patterns in your life that you want to break free from? Are you feeling that you don't have the time to physically go to counseling?
Bloom iCounseling offers remote counseling services. Remote counseling services allow individuals to get the support they need wherever you are. The online counseling methods that Bloom iCounseling offers are phone counseling, email counseling, text or live chat counselling, and video-conferencing (such as facetime or zoom).
Facetime/Video Conferencing
or Phone Counseling
If you are looking for a face to face online counselling experience, this is it. Through video conferencing we can request a specific time and date where I can call you using one of the many facetime calling apps available. The other similar option is phone counseling the set up is the same as the facetime option except no face to face experience. I typically a lot one hour to a session but this can be discussed ahead of time.
Email Counseling
If you prefer to read emails, take your time to digest the info and want to take you time to reply OR if you are often awake and reading at strange hours through the day and night then this type of counseling may be best suited for you. Here we explore counselling primarily through email replies back and forth. I typically a lot one hour to reading your email and responding in a thoughtful, therapeutic manner.
Text based/Online Chat Counseling
If you prefer to text others or do online chats where the other person is live and available at the time you need but not using video or facetime to see each other's faces then this type of counseling is best for you. Here we use texting and/or chat as a way to communicate. I typically alot one hour sessions of texting back and forth but this can be discussed ahead of time.
