Online Counselling
Counselling offered via telephone or video technology — the same care, from wherever you are.
Who is it for?
I have offered online counselling since the pandemic, and for clients who prefer this option to face-to-face counselling. The reasons might be that they live too far away from my practice, or that they prefer counselling from the comfort of their own home.
People who don’t like going to new places — or those who can’t leave the house for other reasons, such as illness or difficulty finding childcare — also choose to access support remotely.
How effective is online counselling?
Many studies show that online counselling is at least as effective as face-to-face counselling. A 2013 study found that online counselling clients were more likely than not to experience continued engagement with the issues they worked on in therapy.
Studies also find that the increase in written correspondence offers people the chance to review and reflect on issues more consistently.
How does it work?
There are a number of options we can explore to find the best fit for you. Some people prefer a phone call, finding it less distracting than a video call. Others like the visual connection of Skype, FaceTime or WhatsApp.
