Some of the most common curbs of investing in yourself have to do with practical and logistical reasons rather than not wanting to better yourself. Online and telephonic sessions allow you, as the client, and me, as the counsellor, flexibility with time. This means avoiding long distances of travel and traffic if you are not in the same area as me. Last minute opportunities for urgent or emergency sessions are possible. Coaching sessions can be held in the evenings when your children are asleep or when you are travelling locally or abroad. Should you be housebound through illness or a disability, coaching is still accessible to you. Why should you feel unsupported our out of touch during stressful periods when your coaching sessions are essential to your well-being?

The online counselling that I offer is via Skype. Skype is a computer program that allows you to video chat in real time with other people over the internet. The Skype software is free and is easy to download. Your computer will need a webcam or microphone, but they are relatively inexpensive to purchase, if you don’t have them. The benefit of Skype is that you are able to physically see me during our session. This is something that clients often miss during telephonic counselling. Skype sessions enable you to have your counselling session from the comfort of your own home or anywhere in the world.

Telephonic counselling works in the same was as face to face counselling but instead of sitting with me, your session is conducted over the telephone. You are able to have your session anywhere as you don’t need to be confined by a professional space or the requirement of a computer.

Reach out to us via email, telephone or sms. Once you have done that, we will get in touch with you and have a brief discussion on what you are wanting to achieve in working with me and how I can help. If we are a fit, we will book you an appointment time for either your online or telephonic counselling. At the time of your appointment, I will Skype you or phone you and so begins our first session together.

Should you be in a situation where you are unable to keep your online or telephonic counselling session, 24 hour notice is required to cancel and reschedule. If you find yourself in a last minute situation where you really can’t make your session, please let us know immediately. A grace period is given for the first time that this happens but should it happen more than once you will be expected to forfeit 50% of your session fee. Many hours and a lot of planning go into every session and this is time that is taken away from thetraumacoach.co
