Telephone counselling is a form of psychological therapy that takes place over a telephone call. I will call you at the allocated time and the session will last for 50 minutes. For the duration of the call, I will give you my full attention. I will ensure that I am in a private space where I won’t be overheard, and away from any distractions. If for some reason the connection is lost, I will call you back straight away. In cases where there is an issue with my network provider, I will call you from a private number, on a different network.
There may be times when we decide to work with visual aids such as a worksheet or completing a timeline together. In these instances, I will send you a copy of this via email or WhatsApp.
You will need to ensure that you also have a private space to attend the session from. It is important that this is somewhere that you wont be overheard. It is also important that it is somewhere you can be comfortable (a comfy chair to sit in, not too hot or too cold) and with minimal distractions. This will enable us to carry out deep therapeutic work together in a safe way.
