Online Counselling
Since the pandemic many people have embraced telehealth as the 'new norm' and while I absolutely love seeing clients face to face it is very gratifying to be able to connect with the many people who find me online and want to engage in online counselling.
I have been amazed at the depth of connection and profound shifts that my clients are achieving through online counselling.
Online counselling suits people for many reasons and there are some people who prefer it.
It may be that you live in a small town and find the thought of going to a local counsellor just too close to home, or you need to fit regular counselling in with a busy lifestyle.
Beginning a counselling relationship can be quite daunting. You may want to make changes in your life but the thought of going and sitting face to face with a counsellor feels a little bit too much right now. With online counselling you can make a cuppa, sit in the comfort of your own home and start working towards your goals at a pace that suits you.
There can be a sense of safety in knowing that you will not bump into your counsellor while you are doing your shopping or walking your dog.
Some clients are also more comfortable in their own home, patting their animals and not feeling the pressure of eye contact or attending a consulting room.
