Convenience
Online counselling takes place at a time convenient to you with no notice required, you just log on to the website and type a message whenever it suits you. Having to take the time to write out your questions focuses you on what you want to say and reading through my reply, at a time that suits you, gives you some quiet time to study and absorb the response I give you.
Quick Response
Whenever you post a message through the site I will be notified by email, and I will usually reply within 48 hours, excluding Sundays.
Record of Consultation
Online counselling provides you with an on-going record of all consultations, allowing you to revisit and review issues. This revisting can also give you a useful overview.
Anonymity
Being in your own environment and in your own time without being face to face with a counsellor can often provide greater freedom.
Control of How Much You Spend
The way the payment is structured (£35 per 1000 words you write) means that this can be the most cost effective approach to counselling. Online Counselling also saves in other ways; there's no need for an appointment... no need to leave home... no transport costs... no need to take time off work...
WARNING
In spite of the above list of good reasons for choosing Online Counselling there are some situations where it would not be appropriate. These are:
In such instances, contacting your doctor, police or a crisis group such as The Samaritans would offer you better help than I could counselling over the internet.
Online Counselling is not suitable for everyone.
Getting Started
If you want to set up Online Counselling with me may I suggest we start in the following way.
Send me an email to: info@sarahcalothis.co.uk with some brief information about yourself. It's not necessary to go into too much detail if you don't want to, a sentence or two about your issues and what you think you want to work on and we'll take it from there.
Cost
As short messages only take a short time to read and reply to I charge a fee based upon the length of your messages.
This way, you will know in advance how much it will cost to send a message by its length.
I do not charge you for my replies!
Paying for Words
You can purchase words in blocks of 1000 words which are added to any existing words you may have already bought. You can use these up whenever you like by sending messages.
The number of words in your message is simply deducted from your exisisting Word Balance.
Your Word Balance can be topped up at any time, with one block of 1000 words at £35.
Larger blocks of words are progressively discounted.
If you write quite short messages, a single block of 1000 words might be enough for 3 messages, while if you like to write a great deal at once, you might need a whole block just for one message.
The word count for your message will be displayed on the site as you type.
You Word Balance will not expire, as long as our counselling relationship continues.
A full refund for any unused words will be given at any time as long as the total value exceeds £2. Refunds can be made via Paypal or by cheque.
