HOW DOES ONLINE COUNSELLING WORK?

You may be wondering, how does this all work? This list will guide you through the 5 simple steps to getting started.

Step One

Get in touch to arrange an appointment time that suits you.

Step Two

Once I receive your initial booking, you will receive two emails. The first one will confirm your registration with us and the date and time of your appointment. The second will contain a short onboarding form to be completed before your first session.

Step Three

A day prior to your session you will receive an appointment reminder via both text and email. This will contain the Zoom link to your secure telehealth session. Make sure that you have a Zoom account so you can access the link

Step Four

Check that your WIFI connection is strong and your internet browser is up to date. Shut down background tabs and disconnect any devices that could interfere with the call. Find a quiet, private and comfortable place with good lighting, then get ready to click your personal video link and connect with your counsellor.

Step Five

When it is time for your session follow your personal video link and a unique Telehealth room will be created, this is where we will first meet. Together we will do a few checks to make sure the sound and picture are of good quality before proceeding.

Simple as that!

WHY ONLINE COUNSELLING?

Lower Barriers to Entry

Often, the fear of the process stops young blokes from connecting with a counsellor. Picking up the phone to make your appointment, finding the location and waiting anxiously in the reception for your name to be called is enough to put people off. Online counselling can allow you to attend a session from the comfort of your own home.

Confidentiality and Privacy

Young Men shy away from counselling out of fear of running into someone they know. Online counselling provides you with increased anonymity to get help without going to any social setting. Have a man-to-man chat with an expert online counsellor with the privacy that men desire.

Easier Interactions

Contrary to what you may believe, many young men & teens feel like they have the ability to open up more in online sessions. The virtual element can take away some of the discomfort around discussing sensitive topics however, the level of technology used will ensure rapport and the appropriate level of personal interaction is maintained.

Affordability

Save commute costs by talking to your online counsellor at home. Web consulting also saves operational fees of an in-person clinic, staff, and so on, which contributes to a higher bill. Online counselling is an affordable yet effective option if you’ve been holding off treatment for fear of high prices.

More Specific

Before the world of online counselling evolved, you were limited in your choice of counsellors. It may be that that the counsellors in your local area didn’t suit your needs. Now with the power of video counselling, you can easily find a counsellor that specialises in a certain area.

Efficiency

With the ability to book a session in seconds, with a couple of clicks and a simple video set up, the whole process is extremely streamlined. No waiting on the phone to get your session booked or fighting your way through traffic to get to your appointment, precious time is saved at every step.

Rural Areas

If you live in a rural area there may be no counsellor accessible or you might have to travel great distances. Online counselling can take away this dilemma.

As you can see there are many benefits to online counselling. Why not give it a try and see how well it works?
