- You will be able to continue to have counselling and my support even if we can’t meet in person. Not everyone finds this approach practical or helpful so please think about it carefully and talk it through with me by phone or email before you decide to proceed. You may find the process of communicating from your own protected safe space very helpful in itself. Some clients say they actually find it easier to talk about some things when they’re not in the same room as their therapist (although this may not be the case for you).
- I may be able to offer you more flexibility online, for example if you have to change location for any reason, you’ll still be able to continue with your sessions, as long as you have access to your device.

- It may feel strange to work without the same ‘cues’ that arise when we’re in the same room together and you may find it harder to communicate exactly what you’re feeling. In direct face-to-face communication we pick up information from facial expressions, voice tone, body language, and even the clothes people are wearing, which may be less obvious when working online.
- You may find yourself exploring things that you wouldn’t feel able to say when we’re together in person. This might lead to unexpectedly heightened emotional responses both during the session and afterwards. It’s important to be aware of this and I’ll explore this with you regularly as a central and ongoing part of the process.
- Occasionally technological problems can arise which affect the online link. We’ll discuss alternative means of contact and have an agreed course of action in case this happens.
- You’ll be responsible for ensuring privacy at your end. You’ll need to be able to shut the door on any noise, ensure that no one interrupts us and turn off telephones and other forms of contact so that we are not interrupted.
- You may find it confusing to see us both on the screen at the same time. We’ll discuss ways to resolve this – for example, I can help you to turn off your own video screen, if you prefer, once we’ve made contact.

- We’ll agree on the date and time of your online session in the usual way (usually by email)
- Prior to the session, I will send you an email invitation to join me. This will contain a link which you should click on. As long as you can see the link has come from my email account at the expected time, this link will be safe.
- The first time you open the link, you will be guided through the process. It will ask your permission for your audio and camera to be turned on.
- You find yourself in the meeting room, where I’ll be waiting for you. This is a confidential and secure space.

- Always use a password to access your computer and change your password frequently.
- Keep the security software (virus protection, firewall) on your computer up to date.
- Check regularly for software updates for your video and audio communication software.
- Plan your session for a time when you know you can have privacy, making sure others in the house know not to disturb or interrupt you.
- Find a safe and undisturbed space where you can set up your device and sit comfortably for the whole session.
- Close all other open browsers and programmes on your computer as these can affect the connection and either slow it down or cause the screen to freeze.
