How Online Counselling can work
Here I look at online counselling, with a focus on telephone and video sessions, to help you consider whether it might work for you. What are the benefits and challenges, what does it look and feel like and how does it differ from in-person therapy?
What’s an initial conversation with a therapist like?
An initial conversation, or Assessment, is a time for a therapist and client to meet to explore if they might be able to do some meaningful work together. More about this moment to ask any questions you have about the process, to experience a little of what the therapeutic relationship can feel like and to get a professional opinion on what might be useful for you.
