We offer this service to afford people a
choice in how they would like to work through their issues. There
are two reasons for this, geographically, people may not be able to
access my service because they live outside of the Greater
Manchester area or they are living outside of the UK. Secondly, it
can be very difficult for some people to actually turn up at an
office to meet with someone and then discuss their problems. We
offer online counselling as an option for people who feel they would
prefer to stay in their home and talk with someone. Clients wishing
to use this option will have a clear idea of what they would hope to
benefit from working through their issues with a counsellor. Like
face-to-face counselling, the counsellor and client will contract at
the outset for an agreed number of sessions. These are usually
weekly, hour-long sessions. Clients may choose to re-contract again
after the agreed period if they feel they need to. |

A counsellor will e-mail you within 3 working days to inform you as
to whether we can contract for counselling, if accepted we will give
you a choice of time slots in which we will contact you for
counselling. Also giving you payment facilities. The initial
introductory session, either via our private chat facility or via
video conferencing (you will need to download MSN messenger for
this) will last for approximately half an hour to explain procedures
and to ensure that you feel comfortable working with your
counsellor. |
