Online couples’ counselling has brought more flexibility to couples across the globe who desire to navigate their relationship with the help of a professional. Online couples counselling Zoom Counselling and psychotherapy makes it far easier to book appointments at a time that suits you. It also means you can do counselling as a couple even when you are in separate locations.

Many of you reading this will think that Zoom or other video platforms is what counselling online is all about and for some, it is absolutely the best way to be counselled. It is not, however, suitable for everyone, which is why it is important to know about other options. Online Counselling has been around for a long time but it seems that people were not necessarily aware of it until we were all forced to 'social distance'. It was then that many therapists and clients fully realised the potential of Online Counselling and it is set to become just as common as the more traditional face to face. It is equally effective as any other form of counselling and, for some people, even more so. Priory aspires to deliver the highest quality care in the UK across our range of services, which include acute mental healthcare, addiction treatment and low and medium secure facilities.
We only offer counselling to people three months after being bereaved. This is because, from our experience over many years, we know that the immediate aftermath of a bereavement is not the best time to access our service. Individuals in training may apply at any time for shortlisting for interviews. You need to have completed your first year of diploma level training, have some previous experience, be having your own personal therapy and live within communting distance of Littlehampton.
You can access counselling anywhere where you have phone reception and feel safe to talk openly. With Zoom counselling you can see me and my reactions during our counselling sessions. You may find this beneficial as it can help to see that you are being acknowledged. It also allows me to demonstrate that I have understood you correctly. The majority of sessions will be as a couple however, individual sessions can be helpful.

Within my couples counselling and coaching sessions, I will help you find healthy ways of interacting and getting in touch with your truth within the relationship. As your couples counsellor and coach, my role is to remain neutral, and non-judgemental, with whatever each person may bring. I use EFT/Matrix Reimprinting EFT / Tapping in our sessions a highly effective tool that helps to alleviate depression, anxiety, and stress, and other uncomfortable feelings that may arise such as fear. ​Face-time and Zoom are easy to use and make therapy more convenient to access. Evidence has shown that anxiety is lower using online methods of counselling.
I also recommend you use a private and quiet space in which to carry out your online counselling which will feel safer for you to explore any difficult issues. I have insurance for personal liability and professional indemnity which covers me to work anywhere in the world. Some countries however such as Canada and certain States within the USA have different legislation regarding online counselling and we would therefore need to ensure safe and legal practice before our work can go ahead. Walking into a new experience, in a foreign space, expressing personal issues with someone you never met is not always easy. Although therapy it’s still a difficult process, being in the safe space of your home might be helpful. Online counselling and mental health services have become more and more popular over the last few years.

Of course I always knew cognitively I was safe with my therapist but I didn’t always feel safe when talking about and therefore reliving having been hurt by others. Throughout our sessions, you will find a safe space in which you may discuss your feelings and explore your own inner insight through the power of a collaborative therapeutic relationship. We will focus on actively engaging towards our goals in order to reach your greater potential. You will draw on your own personal strengths as well as develop an understanding of your feelings and needs. Low-cost counselling sessions are similar to full-paying sessions.
If you are late attending your session, we will still end on the original time for the session. If you wish to cancel a session you are asked to give a minimum of 24 hours notice by either email or SMS. If you miss your agreed session and have not given sufficient notice, then your payment will be kept. Dean Richardson MNCS(Accred/Reg) is centred around Portsmouth, Havant & Waterlooville. Directly available to you via secure and encrypted video technology. Counselling is of the same quality as face-to-face but delivered to the safety of our home location.
