Counselling, supervision and coaching can all be provided online, or via telephone if you prefer. If you can't meet with me face to face due to location or transport concerns, then an online or telephone session can be the ideal solution.
Online counselling services can be accessed as a full fee paying client, or via Medicare [Telehealth] funding, see details on Fees and Rebates page.
Is Online Counselling effective?
Counselling provided using video conferencing has been found to be as effective as a face-to-face appointment for a variety of issues. Please note however, in some cases it may not be appropriate to receive treatment via online counselling. At our initial telephone consultation we will explore if this is the right approach for you.
