Video enables me to engage directly with the child or young person, offering the closest medium to working face-to-face.
Some young people might feel uncomfortable visiting me face-to-face and would prefer to engage safely and privately using video or telephone.
Online counselling is carried out via WhatsApp or Zoom which are both secure and encrypted web platforms. This can be done from the comfort of your own home as long as you have a private space to have the conversation.
Use a laptop, computer, phone, or tablet (and you may need to make sure that your device’s microphone and camera are working).
When we are both connected by video link, we will probably spend a few minutes checking the camera position is OK and that we can both see and hear each other.
I will discuss how it’s going to work and ensure you know what to do if the connection is interrupted.
An important part of counselling is that you feel heard and understood. This is no different for face-to-face, online and telephone counselling.
Our sessions – however they are carried out – will offer you a safe space to talk about your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Support is here for: Anxiety, Loneliness, Depression, Stress, Family Relationships, Low Mood, Self-Esteem, Sleep, and many other emotional triggers.
Online therapy and counselling from the comfort of your own home
There has been an increase in stress, anxiety and other emotional and mental health problems due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
If your mental health has been affected by the current pandemic, then you are not alone. We can help.
Our professional therapy and counselling is available remotely/online to ensure it is accessible, flexible and convenient and you can get support anytime, anywhere.
The sessions are held through a secure platform via Zoom, WhatsApp or over the telephone.
Online/virtual counselling has been found to be just as effective as face-to-face sessions.
