What Is Online Counselling?
Although the traditional form of Counselling is conducted face to face, we do offer online video Counselling. We use many different platforms to offer therapy. We may be physically be in the same space, we can still offer the same professionalism, insight and expertise over video calls. We’re here to help you explore your feelings, help you to understand why you feel the way you do and to help you achieve your goals.
There’s a number of different reasons people choose to have therapy via video calling, this could be that you have a busy lifestyle, you may not be able to physically get to us, or it’s just more convenient for you to access Counselling in the comfort of your home. You can access our Counselling services regardless of where you are located!
How Does Online Counselling Work?
Video calling counselling works in the same way as face to face counselling. Contact us to arrange your appointment, your therapist will video call you at your appointment time, you will still be provided with the insight you would receive if you came face to face.
We understand the field of Counselling can be confusing, Kay’s taken the pressure off: all our Counsellors have to pass a vigorous interview process and provide their qualifications, registration details and insurance documents to us. We do all the checks to ensure you’re working with someone who’s able to help.
We use a number of different platforms, depending on what works for you, we would suggest the following to make the best use of online Counselling:
Your therapist will have alternative measures in place should the connection drop, they may text or call you and retry the video calling.
In short yes online counselling can be just as effective as face to face therapy. There are a few things to check prior to your session to make it more effective, such as checking your internet connecting is working with high bandwidth, you have sufficient drinks with you and tissues, replicating the things you would have in the session.
We do not provide email/chat counselling because we feel it is impersonal, we’re not able to read social cue’s, body language or facial experiences which can leave responses provided not fitting accurately with how you may be feeling. Video calling counselling eliminates these issues.
It is becoming more and more popular for individuals to access online counselling. This could be for a number of reasons, you may have a hectic work/lifestyle, had children or be a carer and unable to come see us face to face or it could just be that you feel more comfortable at home.
You don’t need anything fancy or have to buy any equipment to access our video calling sessions, we’ll call you on your phone when it’s your session time.

Online Counselling provide you with the help and support you need to deal with your issues.
