Online counselling
What is Online counselling?
Online counselling (also known as e-counselling or e-therapy) is a way of receiving counselling via the internet instead of meeting with the therapist face-to-face. Sessions take place online either by email or 'live' via private instant messaging and instead of talking about your problems, you write about them.
You don’t need any special technical knowledge or equipment (except for a computer with an internet connection) and I will keep any information you share with me safe and confidential (see Is Online counselling private?). Our sessions can take place via email or 'live' in a secure instant messaging facility using text and whichever option you choose, you can keep a written record of each counselling session to read again.
Online counselling can help you to share your problems in a safe and supportive environment where you will not be judged. Together we can explore the issues so that you can reach a new understanding of your situation and work towards changing it, if you wish to.
