Behaviour

What Is Online Counselling?

Online counselling is useful for people who lead busy lives and are familiar with using services online. Because it takes place in the comfort of your own home, you can receive online counselling support without having to travel. This is also beneficial for parents with children, those with hectic work schedules, people with physical difficulties which make it difficult to leave the home, or those who simply prefer to have counselling online rather than in person.

Online Counselling sessions take place using email exchanges, or by using Instant Messaging (text, audio or webcam) depending on what method of online communication you prefer. Skype is used for instant messaging as this method keeps our communication secure and private. More information about what to expect during Online Counselling is available by clicking on the 'Online Counselling' section at the top of the website.

What Is Telephone Counselling?

Telephone Counselling is useful for people who like the convenience of receiving counselling from home but prefer not to use IT. Telephone counselling has the advantage of being more immediate than email or booking a face to face appointment, yet it is similar to a natural conversation.

If you would like more information about Telephone Counselling, how it works and how to book an Initial Consultation please click on the 'Telephone Counselling' section, at the top of the website.
