Email Counselling

Service Description

Counselling using email offers you the opportunity to consider what you wish to say before you send it as well as time between exchanges to reflect on the information you have received. You will be required to set up a secure email account, one which only you have access to. Email counselling is also sometimes used in between more structured sessions such as online chat, telephone or webcam counselling. A consideration of email counselling is the time delay between your mail and the return mail and this makes email counselling ineffective when urgency is a priority. I will spend at least 50 minutes reading and responding with my therapeutic response - this can be a good indicator as to the length of email you send me - around 800 words works quite well. I may include psychoeducation material and recommend strategies as attachments to support you with your current difficulty.
