Depression,
stress and relationship problems are the most common reasons why people seek counselling. Our
24/7 lifestyles and 'connectivity' makes it easier than ever before to be in touch with more people 'where' and
'when' ever we choose. Ironically, it is this same 24/7 lifestyle that is often the reason we are more out of touch
with 'ourselves'; and sometimes those who who are closest to us.
In keeping
with these changes in how and when we communicate, people
are choosing to use email and live chat therapy, referred to as 'online counselling', to not only explore the possible
cause of their problems but to 'try out counselling'.
Maybe you are uncomfortable with seeing a counsellor face-to-face straight away? Or, you are put off by the thought of ringing for an appointment
and committing yourself to something you are unsure about! Online counselling is an opportunity for you to try it out before
seeing a counsellor in person.

Do you have reasonable access
to a computer and feel comfortable with communicating by email or instant messenger? If so, then online counselling can be
an effective way for you to access an experienced therapist.
You can use either email or live chat sessions exclusively,
or you can mix them up. Very often individuals will progress from email to live-chat then face-to-face, as they get to know their counsellor
and feel more comfortable with the process. Please take time to look around my website using
the menu on the left. Here you will find information to help you decide
for yourself which form of counselling is the right choice for you. If you are still unsure read through some
of the FAQ's about online counselling or visit the BACP website or, email counselling@live-chat.email-therapy.me.uk - with no obligation. First though, click here and find out more about how online counselling will help you
