Online / telephone
Traditionally, face-to-face counselling has been the most common way to receive support.
However, during the COVID-19 lockdowns, online counselling and telephone counselling have become increasingly popular.
These remote options have proven to be just as effective as in-person sessions and in many cases, even more convenient and beneficial for clients because:
Convenience and flexibility: Attend sessions from the comfort of your home, work, or any location, fitting counselling around your schedule.
Accessibility for everyone: Ideal for clients with mobility challenges, health concerns, or those living in remote areas.
Privacy and comfort: Some clients feel more at ease opening up in their own space, which can enhance the therapeutic process.
Consistency during disruptions: Online and telephone sessions ensure support continues uninterrupted, even during travel restrictions or unforeseen circumstances.
Equally effective support: Research shows that virtual counselling is just as effective as face-to-face sessions for improving mental health and wellbeing.
