Yes. Our counselling services and completion reports have been accepted and recognized within the Ontario Court of Justice system as part of sentence mitigation and rehabilitation planning.

How does distance counselling work?

Not always. Some court-related programs, particularly those intended for sentence mitigation or judicial interim release support, are often arranged through defence counsel. However, individuals may also contact us directly to discuss their situation and counselling needs.

Programs may include:

• Anger management

• Domestic violence counselling

• Substance abuse counselling

• Criminogenic behaviour counselling

• Relationship and emotional regulation support

• Stress and coping strategies

• Court-ordered counselling

• Pre-sentencing and rehabilitation-focused support

All programs are individualized rather than “one-size-fits-all.”

Yes. Upon completion of a program, clients may receive a completion letter, summary report, or other requested documentation. Reports are often used by legal counsel, probation services, or other agencies as part of rehabilitation and sentence mitigation planning.

The number and frequency of sessions vary depending on the individual’s circumstances, legal requirements, and therapeutic goals. Programs are customized to meet each client’s needs rather than following a fixed schedule.

Yes. Client confidentiality is treated with professionalism and respect in accordance with applicable privacy and professional standards. Any required reports or disclosures are discussed with clients in advance.

Getting started is simple. You can contact ReConnect Distance Counselling by phone, email, or through the website contact form to discuss your situation confidentially and determine the most appropriate next steps.
