Counselling from the comfort of your own home.
Video Call
Most similar to in-person counselling as we can see and hear each other via the screen.
Instant Message
A scheduled live session where we communicate by typing. Great if you don't want to show your face or voice.
An exchange of weekly therapeutic emails.
Gives you more time to think as we are not meeting in 'real time'.
My Training and Experience
Studying a specialist online training course with the Academy for Online Counselling and Psychotherapy has equipped me with the knowledge and experience to work as a counsellor online.
Through my experience I notice that people often share their feelings and issues more freely as they feel more comfortable and safe online. This can make our work very powerful and effective. There is also the advantage of not having to travel and being able to have sessions from the comfort of your own home.
