Familiar surroundings
Talk from a private place where you already feel comfortable and do not need to adjust to a new setting.
Online counselling
Professional support from a place that works for you.
Online and telephone counselling can offer flexibility, privacy and continuity without losing the warmth of a genuine therapeutic relationship.
The same thoughtful relationship, with more flexibility.Join from a quiet, private place at home, at work or while travelling within the agreed service arrangements.
Why choose online counselling?
Accessible support can still feel personal and connected.
Some people prefer meeting in a counselling room. Others find that online or telephone sessions fit their life, location or comfort more naturally.
Less travel
Remove travel time, parking and geographical distance from the practical side of attending counselling.
Greater flexibility
Online sessions may fit more easily around work, caring responsibilities, mobility needs or changing circumstances.
Continuity
Continue sessions when travel, relocation or temporary circumstances make face-to-face meetings difficult.
Online or telephone
Choose video sessions or discuss whether telephone counselling feels more comfortable and appropriate.
Warm and confidential
The therapeutic relationship remains central, with the same care, attention and professional boundaries.
Preparing for an online session
A little preparation helps create a private therapeutic space.
Choose somewhere you are unlikely to be overheard or interrupted. A comfortable chair, reliable connection and headphones can help you feel more settled and protect privacy.
It can also be useful to allow a few quiet minutes before and after the session, rather than moving immediately between counselling and another meeting or responsibility.
Online counselling is not second-best
For many people, a strong and meaningful counselling relationship develops online. What matters most is whether the format feels safe, private and workable for you. The introductory conversation is a good opportunity to discuss this.

Discuss whether video or telephone counselling is appropriate and confirm the practical arrangements.
Join at the agreed time from a quiet place where you can speak freely and feel physically comfortable.
Talk, reflect and explore what matters to you, with Julia adapting the process to your needs and pace.
Common questions
Before you begin
Is online counselling confidential?
Julia will explain the arrangements and professional boundaries. You will also need to choose a private environment and take reasonable steps to prevent being overheard.
Do I need specialist equipment?
Usually, a suitable phone, tablet or computer, a reliable connection and a private space are sufficient. Headphones are helpful but not always essential.
Can I change between online and face-to-face sessions?
This may be possible depending on availability and what is clinically and practically appropriate. It can be discussed directly with Julia.
