Online and telephone counselling, anywhere in the UK
The same quality of support, from the comfort of home or wherever suits you best.
Online sessions work well for a lot of people. No travel, no waiting room, and you talk from somewhere you already feel comfortable. Plenty of people find it easier to open up from their own front room.
All you need is a private spot and a steady connection. We have the same conversations we would in person; it just reaches further across South Yorkshire and the rest of the UK.
Online counselling suits you if
- You'd rather not travel to an appointment
- You live outside Barnsley but want a South Yorkshire counsellor
- Your schedule makes regular in-person attendance difficult
- You find it easier to open up from a familiar environment
- You have a disability or health condition that makes travel difficult
- You want continuity of support when you're away from home
How it works
Book your session
Use the online booking link to pick a time. You'll receive a confirmation with a secure video link.
Prepare your space
Find somewhere private and quiet where you won't be interrupted. Headphones help if you need extra privacy.
We connect
Click the link at your session time. No downloads needed. Sessions run for 50 minutes, just like in person.
Between sessions
Brief secure messages between sessions are available if you ever need to flag something before we next meet.
Telephone counselling
Some people find it easier to talk without a camera. Phone sessions give you the same care and confidentiality, with nothing to set up beyond a quiet, private space and a phone. Sessions are 50 minutes and cost the same as in person. I call you at the agreed time.
Telephone sessions can suit you if
- You feel anxious about being on camera
- Your internet connection is limited or unreliable
- You find it easier to talk without being seen
- A health condition makes screens or travel difficult
