Bluebell Therapy

There are various forms of counselling which can be used as an alternative to face to face sessions. Please be assured that all of these are run in a professional and confidential manner. I’m happy to talk through any queries you may have about any of the alternatives that I will now be offering. New clients will be sent my contract/agreement by email before we start therapy. Any information or sheets that will be used during our work together will also be emailed as therapy progresses.

Online Counselling: On-line counselling will be facilitated by Zoom. This platform is GDPR compliant and has end-to-end encryption. As such, it is completely secure and confidential.

Zoom is very simple to use. If you decide to use on-line counselling, we will arrange our session as usual and I will schedule our appointment via my Zoom account and send you an invitation. This will have a link which you simply need to click on to join the meeting at the allotted time. Make sure you have also clicked on ‘video’ and ‘audio’, so that we can see and hear each other. When you click on the link, you will be required to download the Zoom software. You do not, however, require your own account to be able to access a ‘meeting’.

Telephone Counselling: Before starting telephone counselling, we will makes arrangements which are mutually agreeable (who calls who, for example).

Email Counselling or instant messaging by Skype: If you prefer this type of contact, it can be arranged, again by mutual agreement. Please ask and we can have a chat about what would suit you best.

Missed Appointments for online sessions(including late cancellations and non-attendance) are subject to the usual terms and conditions.

Prices for Sessions: On-line/telephone/email or messaging counselling sessions are for 60 minutes, in line with face to face therapy. As the time commitment remains the same, the same fee of £50/session applies. This is payable by bank transfer, before the session commences.

I am also offering 30 min sessions (£25) or 15 min ‘check in’ sessions (£10).
