A therapist for Winnipeg — without the waitlist
Finding a counsellor in Winnipeg can feel like a project of its own: public programs carry heavy demand, and private directories are hard to sort through. TEO Counselling keeps it simple — a virtual practice whose counsellors work with clients across Manitoba, with a free consultation to check fit first.
Because every session happens by secure video, it makes no difference whether you’re in St. Boniface, Transcona, River Heights, or St. James — or well outside the Perimeter in Brandon, Steinbach, or Selkirk. No downtown parking, no rush-hour crossing, no waiting room.
And winter is a real factor here. When it’s −30 and dark by suppertime, getting across town for an appointment is a genuine barrier — and the isolation of the cold months is one of the most common reasons Manitobans seek support for low mood and depression. Online sessions remove the drive, and evening and weekend hours fit around work and family.

Common questions about counselling in Winnipeg
How do I find a therapist in Winnipeg without a long wait?
Manitoba’s public mental-health services do important work, and demand is high — waits are common. As a private virtual practice, TEO Counselling has no waitlist: book a free 15–20 minute consultation online and most new clients meet their counsellor within days.
Will my insurance cover counselling in Winnipeg?
You receive a receipt after every session. Many extended health plans cover services from Canadian Certified Counsellors, Registered Psychotherapists, or Registered Social Workers — coverage varies by insurer, so check your plan’s details before booking.
How is private counselling different from free services like Klinic?
Winnipeg’s community services, including Klinic, provide valuable free crisis and counselling support, and we encourage anyone in crisis to use them. Private counselling offers something complementary: a consistent therapist you choose, ongoing weekly or biweekly sessions, evening and weekend scheduling, and receipts for your insurance plan. Many people use both.
How much does therapy cost in Winnipeg?
Individual sessions are $150 per hour and couples sessions are $175 per hour, with a sliding scale available if cost is a barrier. Your initial 15–20 minute consultation is always free.
Can counselling help with winter low mood and isolation?
Yes. Seasonal low mood and the isolation of the cold months are among the most common reasons Manitobans reach out. Evidence-based approaches such as CBT can help you build the routines, connection, and thinking patterns that make winter easier to carry — without leaving the house for your appointment.
Do you offer counselling in Arabic?
Yes — both of the counsellors who serve Manitoba, Mohamad and Rola, offer sessions in Arabic as well as English.
