Psychotherapist & Clinical Supervisor in St Ives, Cambs

COVID19 LOCKDOWN – ONLINE COUNSELLING OPTIONS

 

 

This current crisis has propelled counsellors to work online. This is an area I have experience in and had been advocating as the future of therapy. I offer a variety of options and am flexible in finding a solution to allow clients to access therapy during this time of worldwide crisis.

 

Online video options– Skype, Whatsapp Video Call, Facetime, Zoom and V See

These options are perfect if the client can ensure they have the time in a quiet place for them to conduct the session without interruptions.

 

Telephonic options– This is suitable for those that do not wish to conduct video or text sessions. It does require a quiet place however.

 

Online real time text options– Text, Whatsapp Message

For those clients that are unable to video call due to various issues text in real time can be incredibly valuable. This would mean that I set aside the time as I would a normal session to be available to conduct a text session.

 

 

Time and Price Options          50 minutes - £40

30 Minutes - £20

 

Sessions are prepaid via BACS or Paypal Transfer

If we continue before payment I reserve the right to end therapy if sessions remain unpaid.

 

All platforms for online work have been heavily criticised over the last few years however if the client is aware of the limitations and is happy to continue these platforms should not be discounted. The most secure, that I am aware of at this current time is V SEE.

 

DATA PROTECTION ONLINE – Please know that I am the only person who has any access to my electronic devises and these are all additionally password protected.

Finding a psychotherapist and starting therapy can be difficult. This is a process that should be directed by you and you should feel in control.

I believe that the core therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance.  This means providing an emotionally safe and confidential place to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

The duration and content of therapy is determined by the client

“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
