Online Therapy

Online counselling gives you the opportunity to speak to a counsellor/psychotherapist online without having to meet them face to face.

​

Even though you’re not in the same room, the counsellor/psychotherapist can still help you to explore how you’re feeling, understand what you are going through and support you to make changes in your life if you need to.

​

Sometimes people choose online  counselling appointments because it’s easier for them to access or it fits with their lifestyle or working hours better. 

​

The same confidentiality policy applies to online counselling as face to face counselling. At the start of your first session I will clarify the confidentiality policy with you. 

However, please note that any Internet-based communication is not 100% guaranteed to be secure/confidential.

​

Online counselling is not suitable for anyone experiencing severe psychological distress, mental illness or individuals who are feeling suicidal. Please contact your GP for referral to a suitable service.

​

What you need to get started with online therapy:

A private space where you will not be disturbed during the session

Access to a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone

A good stable internet connection

Access to a video camera with sound (usually integrated in your device)
