Telephone and online counselling offers a different experience from face-to-face sessions.
They come with many benefits—like easier access, lower costs, and more flexibility with time and location.  However, it’s important to be aware of some potential risks too, which we’ll explain below:
- It is important that your computer/tablet/phone that you are using for counselling allows for you to be in a safe and private environment so that our work together remains confidential.
 - If you are feeling suicidal or in extreme distress, then telephone or online counselling is not recommended. If you need urgent help and are in crisis now, please call Samaritans for free on 116123, text Shout to 85258 or call emergency services on 999.
 
If you decide to have telephone or online counselling with us, we will send you all the information you need to get started and we will guide you through the set-up process.
