An Introduction to Email Counselling

I’ve been offering email counselling since June 2018 and it works really well.

Email counselling is a flexible way to get support without having to commit to a weekly session or travel to a counselling centre. You can write to me about any issue that’s worrying you and I will support you to understand better the difficulties you’re experiencing and encourage you to think about ways to change things. 

You would write an email of about 500-750 words, and I will aim to respond with a long email within three working days. The email will contain reflections on what you have said as well as some suggestions for work to do in between our exchanges. I would let you know in advance if I’m planning any time away from my desk.

You can work with me for as long as you find it helpful, but initially we will be identifying what your goals are for our work together so we can keep a focus on those.

Each message exchange is the equivalent of an hour of face-to-face counselling — with the added benefit that you can go back and re-read your messages whenever you need to. You would send payment at the same time as you send each email, and I also offer blocks of 6 messages at a reduced price as this saves me some admin time.

Email Counselling

I’ve just completed a fascinating course in using digital technologies in counselling and therapy.

Some of it was a refresher as I’ve been offering telephone and webcam appointments for some time, but it’s always nice to take a full day to work with new and existing colleagues on our clinical practice. There were counsellors in our group from as far south as Devon. Luckily I didn’t have to travel as far.

I’m excited about reaching people who can’t schedule appointments at specific times by offering email counselling. I’ve been thinking about this for a while and now I have some practice under my belt this way of working is available to all my clients.

People who can really benefit from this way of accessing support are those like new parents, carers, people who work away, or maybe those who just don’t feel comfortable speaking with someone for any reason.

There’s a charge for each email you write, and I spend an hour reading and responding to your email. I guarantee that you will receive a reply within 3 working days.

Get in touch if you would like more information.
