Accessing counselling in Yukon should offer flexibility, whether you live in Whitehorse, work outside your home community or are looking for mental health support that fits your schedule.
Virtuous Circle Counselling (VCC) helps Yukon residents explore secure online therapy with qualified mental health professionals. Virtual appointments offer an opportunity to connect with a counsellor without travelling to a physical office.
From Whitehorse and Dawson City to Watson Lake, Haines Junction and smaller Yukon communities, our focus is on helping individuals find counselling suited to their concerns, circumstances and personal goals.
Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, managing workplace stress, navigating relationship difficulties or adjusting to significant life changes, our team can help you explore available counselling options.
Finding time for counselling isn’t always easy. Between work schedules, family responsibilities, travel and everyday commitments, attending regular in-person appointments may not be practical for everyone.
Online counselling offers Yukon residents the flexibility to attend secure video sessions from home or another suitable private location.
Virtual counselling may be particularly helpful if you:
Work irregular hours or have changing professional commitments.
Live outside Whitehorse and prefer not to travel for appointments.

Counselling is collaborative, with treatment approaches selected according to your individual needs and your therapist’s professional training.
Finding the right counselling approach involves more than selecting a specific therapy technique. At Virtuous Circle Counselling, we recognize the importance of understanding your concerns, personal experiences and what you hope to achieve through therapy.
Our clinicians may integrate different evidence-informed approaches depending on their qualifications, areas of practice and individual client needs.
These may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), trauma-informed counselling and mindfulness-based approaches.
Together with your counsellor, you can explore which therapeutic strategies may be most appropriate for your goals.
The approaches available depend on each clinician’s training and scope of practice.
