Online Counselling
Are you interested in undertaking counselling from the comfort of your own home? Perhaps you have a busy life and wonder how you might find the time to attend regular sessions, or your circumstances may make it difficult for you to travel. Does the idea counselling online via your laptop, home computer or mobile device appeal to you? The good news is that modern technology allows for a much wider range of choice and accessibility to a counsellor than ever before.​
"What you are is good enough if you would only be it openly"

How do I start Online Counselling?
-
If you are interested in undertaking online therapy with me, or would like to know more, you can contact me via phone or email using the details given on this website. Simply introduce yourself, giving a few basic details, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
-
Once we have established contact and have agreed between us to move forward to the next stage, I will email you two documents. The first of these is the ‘Assessment Form’. This questionnaire allows you to provide me with some of your details and basic information, and will help me understand a bit more about you. This will help me be prepared for our first session.
-
The second document is the ‘Informed Consent’. This contains important information about things like confidentiality and what to do in case of technological breakdown during a session. This document helps us ensure good boundary keeping and safe ways of working online.
-
Once you have completed and returned these documents to me via email, we can begin to arrange our first session.
