Online counseling via secure meeting room: as close as your computer
The pandemic has meant that a lot of our contact, both work and private, has moved online. This is also true for counseling. I am a qualified and experienced online counselor, and am able to offer online sessions using vsee, a free and highly secure online meeting room designed for health professionals.
Some clients prefer a mix of face to face and online sessions, others prefer only online. Both are possible.
Regardless of the pandemic, many people go through a difficult time in their lives, when it may be hard to find the right person to talk to. This is magnified if you are isolated from counseling services by distance, illness, disability or language barriers, if your work or responsibilities make it hard to arrange appointments, or if you simply feel more comfortable communicating online rather than face-to-face. Online counseling is as close as your computer.

I only work online with clients aged 18 and over. If you are under 18 and want to talk to someone online, try Mindfull . If you are being hurt or threatened by someone, feel unsafe, or are desperate and don’t know who to talk to contact Childline There’s someone there for you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Online counseling is not suitable for emergencies. If an emergency or crisis happens during our work together, I will help you to find a more appropriate form of support.
How does it work?
If you think online counseling might be right for you, please complete the Contact Form and briefly outline (50-100 words) why you are seeking counseling. I will respond to your contact form within 48 hours.
I ask all potential clients to complete an online Assessment and Agreement Form. This helps me to assess if I am a suitable professional for your issues. If not, I will advise you about a range of options.
I will invoice you after each session using my Paypal business account. Sessions are €75 for 60 minutes and are payable within 30 days. If you cancel 24 hours or more before an appointment there is no charge. If you pay but the appointment doesn’t take place (due to technical problems), I will retain the payment and carry it forward to the next scheduled appointment.
