Online Counselling

Counselling falls under the umbrella term 'talking therapies' and allows people to discuss their problems and any difficult feelings they encounter in a safe, confidential environment.

The term can mean different things to different people, but in general it is a process people seek when they want to change something in their lives or simply explore their thoughts and feelings in more depth.

It is a client-led, non-directive process where the therapist acts as an empathetic facilitator rather than an authority figure, trusting the individual's innate drive toward self-actualisation.

I use the GOOGLE MEET to connect to clients online and work therapeutically. An agreed time will be made between myself and the client and an invitation prior to the appointment time will be sent to the client by me. We will have an online contract to work in this way.

The beauty of this style of working is it can offer the flexibility some clients need for their work commitments, location and lifestyles.

It can be accessed all over the world. It is the clients responsibility to find a private and confidential space for this appointment, and it is the counsellors responsibility to ensure they too are in a confidential space to connect to the client online.
