Skype Counselling

An increasingly popular option for those who can't make face-to-face counselling sessions is Skype. Skype is a computer program that enables you to video chat in real time (synchronous) over the Internet.

The software itself is free and is easy to download. If your computer doesn't have a webcam or microphone, you will have to purchase these too, however they are relatively inexpensive.

The benefit of Skype is that you are able to physically see me your counsellor, a factor that people sometimes miss during e-therapy, online-chat or telephone counselling.  As with other digital methods, Skype allows you to attend a counselling session from the comfort of your own location anywhere in the world.
