Online & telephone Counselling

The recent pandemic brought forth the need for everyone to work differently, and it was wonderful that people could still access therapy at a time when many needed it more than ever! It has become abundantly clear that online and telephone therapy is, paradoxically, similar to and different from face-to-face therapy, and remains the choice of many, which is why I continue to provide it.  

All I ask is that you find a quiet, private space to talk during your online or telephone session, where you won't be interrupted or overheard, then grab a cuppa, and maybe a blanket, and then we can start. 

Online counselling 

Just like in-person sessions, the benefits of therapy online can be equally as therapeutically rich, if not moreso. 

I am fully qualified in online counselling, hold an advanced certificate in online and telephone counselling and am a professional member of ACTO (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online). 

Counselling online is provided in the same respectful and professional manner as face to face sessions. Get in touch if you'd like to try a session. 

Online counselling by video is exactly the same as the counselling you would receive in-person, only we will meet via video-link online. I mainly use Google Meet. It is one of the most secure platforms due to it's encryption method. All online sessions are private and secure, with a new and unique meeting code generated for every single session which only you and me will have. I simply email you the link on the morning of your appointment and all you have to do is click to connect. 

Online counselling is simply an alternative way of accessing counselling. It's the ideal option if you don't live nearby, or you can't make it to a session due to a car issue or physical mobility issue for example. Going online makes therapy possible for more people, more of the time, wherever they are. 

Telephone counselling

This surprisingly intimate method of counselling may be the preferred choice for some people. It can provide a unique therapeutic space for counselling to take place. It may be that you are having difficulty with internet connection, or just prefer not to be seen, for example. 

It may be that you start off with telephone counselling, if you feel anxious about being seen, and perhaps we can move towards online sessions over time. 

If you're unsure about any aspect of counselling, either online or telephone, I would be happy to talk to you about it and help you get set up if necessary, either technical or non-technical!
