Text Counselling

Explore your thoughts and emotions through live instant messages….

What is Text Counselling?

We will have a scheduled time slot each week in which we will exchange live instant messages for 50 minutes.

Is Text Counselling confidential?

I have undertaken specialist training in Online and Telephone Counselling that is approved by the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO). My business phone is password protected and I make sure I am in a private space when working this way, just as with any other method I offer.

Why choose Text Counselling? ​​

• Saves time and money as there is no travel
• If you like to express yourself through writing
• Suits those with accessibility issues
• No need to show your face or speak
• If you don’t like the idea of a time delay

Things to consider​​​

• Do you have somewhere comfortable and private to sit?
• Do you have a smartphone or device you can install the app I use (‘Signal – Private Messenger’)?
• Is your internet connection strong?
• Are you comfortable with typing on your device?
• Do you enjoy expressing yourself through writing?
