New Brunswick Counselling
Solasta Counselling’s Alberta-registered psychologists provide secure online counselling to adults, teens, couples, and families across New Brunswick — Saint John, Moncton, Fredericton, Dieppe, Miramichi, and communities throughout the province. New Brunswick is Canada’s only officially bilingual province, and sessions are available in English with any of our clinicians, and in French with David Tamagi, a Registered Psychologist on our team.
The Regulatory Basis: How This Works Across Provinces
Alberta psychologists don’t automatically have the right to practice in every province — psychology is regulated province by province in Canada. What makes this possible for New Brunswick clients specifically is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the College of Alberta Psychologists and New Brunswick’s regulatory body, allowing our psychologists to provide online counselling to New Brunswick residents without separately registering there.
Both regulators stay involved: Alberta’s College remains primarily responsible for oversight and complaints about our psychologists, while New Brunswick’s regulator retains authority over services delivered to clients within its borders. Our psychologists follow New Brunswick’s specific laws and reporting requirements throughout, regardless of where the registration sits.
This arrangement is specifically about counselling. Formal psychological assessments — ADHD, autism, psychoeducational — aren’t offered virtually across provinces and require an in-person visit to our Calgary office.
Evidence-Based Support
CBT, mindfulness-based approaches, ACT, and trauma-informed practice — the same clinical approaches we use with Alberta clients — applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties.
Who We Work With
Psychologists offering New Brunswick counselling work with:
Children and Teens Who May Be Struggling with School, Friendships, or Emotions
Children and teens often face challenges at school, in friendships, or in managing their emotions. A psychologist can help young people build coping skills, improve self-esteem, and navigate difficulties in a supportive environment. Counselling provides a safe space to talk openly and develop strategies that support both academic and social success.
Adults Facing Stress, Anxiety, Depression, or Life Transitions
Many adults in New Brunswick turn to online counselling when stress, anxiety, or depression starts to interfere with everyday life. Others seek support during significant life transitions such as career changes, relationship challenges, or loss. Meeting virtually with a psychologist can provide clarity, practical coping strategies, and renewed direction when life feels overwhelming.
Couples Seeking to Strengthen Communication and Connection
Relationships can be deeply rewarding but also complex. Couples counselling with a psychologist helps partners strengthen communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild connection. Whether facing recurring disagreements or simply wanting to grow closer, couples can benefit from guidance that fosters healthier patterns and deeper understanding.
Families Wanting to Improve Relationships or Address Conflict
Family dynamics can be difficult to navigate, especially when conflict, stress, or communication breakdowns occur. A psychologist can help families develop healthier ways of relating to one another, work through challenges together, and create a stronger sense of unity. Support is tailored to each family’s unique circumstances and goals.
Professionals and Students Looking for Support in Managing Stress, Attention, or Performance
Workplace and academic demands can take a toll on mental health. Professionals and students often seek help with managing stress, improving focus, or addressing challenges such as ADHD or burnout. Psychologists can provide strategies to enhance attention, build resilience, and improve performance while maintaining balance and well-being.
Individuals Seeking CBT for Anxiety, Stress, or Depression
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely researched and effective approaches for addressing challenges like anxiety, stress, and depression. Through online New Brunswick counselling, psychologists guide clients in recognizing unhelpful thought patterns, reframing negative beliefs, and practicing healthier behaviours. This structured, goal-oriented method helps individuals build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and create lasting positive change.
What to Expect When Working with Solasta
At Solasta, our psychologists provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, gain clarity, and work toward meaningful change.
How often will sessions happen?
Weekly is common for building early momentum, though biweekly or a more flexible schedule works for many clients. This gets worked out together with your psychologist, not imposed as a fixed protocol.
What’s the first session like?
Your psychologist gets to know your background, your current situation, and what you want out of therapy, and you’ll set some initial direction together. It’s the foundation for the work that follows, not the work itself.
When will I notice a difference?
Timelines vary by person and concern, but most clients describe a shift in perspective within the first handful of sessions.

FAQs
How does online counselling work for New Brunswick clients?
Sessions run through a secure video platform at a scheduled time, just like our Alberta clients. Sessions are 50 minutes, and all you need is a private space, a stable connection, and a device with a camera and microphone.
Is it actually permitted for an Alberta psychologist to see me in New Brunswick?
Yes — this is governed by a formal Memorandum of Understanding between the two provinces’ regulatory bodies, with oversight maintained on both sides. See “The Regulatory Basis” section above for the full explanation.
Does insurance cover online counselling for New Brunswick clients?
That depends on your specific plan and your psychologist’s credential, not your location — confirm your coverage directly with your provider.
Can I get an assessment through this service?
Not virtually. ADHD, autism, and psychoeducational assessments require an in-person visit to our Calgary office; counselling is fully available online.
Is a referral required?
No — you can book a consultation or begin counselling without one.
Do you offer counselling in French?
Yes. David Tamagi, a Registered Psychologist on our team, provides counselling in French. All other clinicians offer sessions in English.
