I have an office based in Barnstaple, North Devon. So, if you live local, you may want to come to my office; however, I offer my counselling service all over the UK. So you may want to take advantage of the online or telephone service I provide.

So as long as you have a safe and confidential space and an internet connection, you can choose where you speak to me. Whether this is at your place of work or home; it's about whatever suits your lifestyle. The same goes for the phone: a good signal strength with a limited chance of losing the connection if you use a smartphone.  Sometimes it is helpful to use headphones; I usually do. You may find it helps to block out any unwanted background noise that may distract you; it helps keep you focused.

What are the benefits of online or telephone counselling?   · It will fit in with your lifestyle; make sure you are in a safe, confidential and comfortable space   · More readily available to fit with your timetable, so late evening if you are in business or travelling and have no time to stop. Or after the children have gone to bed.    · No driving, no parking, no stress.  Online therapy is as effective as face-to-face counselling.  Every effort is made to provide a safe and secure environment for your online therapy with encryption software to protect your confidentiality and security.


Online Counselling
Zoom is a way for you to see your counsellor face-to-face from your computer while engaging in therapy. You will be guided through setting up your encrypted Zoom account and meet your counsellor on Zoom at a time you have previously arranged.


Sessions are 50 minutes in length. or 1 hour for couples therapy



Telephone counselling This is similar to webcam counselling as it happens through the Zoom system or via a handset, but without the visual aspects. You can remain anonymous; the conversation is encrypted if held on Zoom. An advantage of telephone counselling is that non-verbal communication can be carried in your tone of voice or the pace of speech which your counsellor can pick up.
A disadvantage of telephone counselling is that you need a private room so that you will not be overheard by others nearby


Online counselling offers certain benefits, but some limitations are worth considering when deciding which type of therapy best suits your needs.
