Why
should I choose you for counselling?
I am committed to offering you a personalised service that will
meet your particular needs and will empower you to find your own
solutions. I
also believe that for some people, online counselling offers a
much more
private, convenient and accessible alternative than
does face-to-face counselling.
What
are the advantages of online counselling?
You can access online counselling when you
want it and from the comfort
of your own home. You do not have to travel to a
therapist's office for online counselling.
Many people find that they open up more readily and can 'get to
the heart' of problems more easily online than they can in person.
This is especially true for issues which people may experience as
embarrassing or difficult to talk about.
Hourly rates for online counselling are significantly
cheaper than the hourly rates of most face-to-face
counsellors.
What
does it cost?

How
do I pay for my online counselling packages and sessions?
PayPal
is the authorised payment processor for 'The
Heaven Within'. PayPal
is secure and free
for you to use, and allows payment
with a credit or debit card.

What
are the limitations of online counselling?
Online counselling is not for everyone. People who experience
difficulty with touch typing and/or who wish to meet their
counsellor in person are unlikely to enjoy online counselling.
There are also certain issues which online counselling is unable
to adequately support. These issues include: Suicidal
intent; Immediate
thoughts of harming oneself or others; Acute psychiatric episodes
e.g. psychosis; Drunken or other intoxicated states.
If you are currently experiencing any of the above issues, please
make immediate contact with your health care professional and/or
seek the help of a trusted family member or friend.
How
long will I need counselling for?
It depends on you and the level of support you require.
Some people have a small issue which is niggling at them, and
often find that a few emails or a 1
hour chat session will be sufficient to give them the strategies and confidence they
need. Other people may feel unable to cope and that their whole
life needs reworking. These people commonly benefit from a more
continued form of counselling (see our order
page).
We will constantly re-assess how you are going. I see my role in
your life as being brief, temporary and transitional. Of
course, it remains at all times your choice to discontinue or, if
necessary, resume counselling. |
