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?
