THE PROVISION OF COUNSELING SERVICES TODAY Face-to-Face Counseling Phone Counseling Live Chat Counseling Web Call Counseling Video Counseling
“I currently use the internet with great success to work with clients who are unable to visit me in person or who prefer to
work online. Skype is a FREE, easy to install, high quality video conferencing program. It's effective, confidential and
convenient for you.”http://www.garthalley.com/online-counselling-using-skype/
BENEFITS OF ONLINE SESSIONS
Saves Time: Skype counseling is a great to have face-to-face or phone counseling when you are unable or unwilling to travel to a counseling office. You can save money rather than lose time traveling from work. Many people now enjoy the convenience of working on themselves and getting support in their own homes and offices where they feel most comfortable.
Some are Shy or Introverted: Skype or Phone Counseling is a great way to connect with a counselor without the barrier of social fears, or trouble meeting new people.
Remote Location or Lack of Services: You can access services if you live in a remote place where counseling services are unaccessible. We have international and national clients where there are limited services.
Comfort Level & Privacy: Services can be available if you do not feel comfortable about visiting a counselor's office or you do not want others to know that you go see a counselor. You may also prefer to work on yourself in a place where you feel comfortable.
Unsure about Counseling: You may prefer to try out counseling before committing to more counseling.
We treat Skype or Phone sessions the same way I do face-to-face sessions. We strive to create a safe space in which we explore concerns togetherIf you have a webcam, we can also see each other during sessions.
