Online Therapy & Counselling Services

Online counselling provides you with safe and secure support

How online counselling for children and young people works

What

What is online counselling?

Online counselling gives you the opportunity to speak to me online, without having to meet physically face to face.

Also known as e-counselling, internet counselling, web therapy or remote therapy, this kind of counselling is a good solution for people who need counselling but cannot get to a therapist’s office. It’s also a solution for those who prefer to keep in contact at a distance from wherever they are.

Please note, I don’t offer counselling by email or SMS.

How

How online counselling works

Technology today offers us the opportunity to connect safely and securely online using any device that has camera and audio capabilities. It is an effective platform that provides invaluable support when other commitments or distance makes attending in person difficult.

Your session will be arranged in advance and you can decide whether you’d like us to speak to each other via a video call or just talk over the phone.

Online counselling works in the same way as face to face therapy. The session structures work in the same way, and the approach will be tailored to you in exactly the same way it would be if we were meeting in person.

Counselling from the comfort of your home

There are many reasons why people choose online counselling instead of being physically face to face, but all my clients find the experience is discreet and confidential.

Some people feel that having online counselling from the comfort of their own home or office is more convenient, and allows them to discuss personal issues more openly without feeling embarrassed, guilty or shameful.

You can use a mobile phone, laptop or desktop computer and talk in a room where you know you won’t be overheard.
