Kelty’s Key Online Therapy Practicum Information Form

 The BCPA has partnered with the UBC Okanagan (UBCO) Psychology Training Clinic and Kelty’s Key to offer free email- and internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy to any BC resident aged 19+. We are currently accepting eligible clients to our waiting list to begin email-based therapy in January 2021.

What is Online CBT?

Kelty's Key Online Therapy uses the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This method focuses on learning new skills and developing effective coping strategies. CBT has been widely studied and clinically proven to work. We offer CBT in an online format via email. You can do it from your home or wherever you have a computer.

Psychologists from Vancouver Coastal Health have developed this program. The program was modeled on other successful Online CBT programs.
