Benefits of Remote Counselling
Counselling by video or phone has many advantages
Counselling that takes place over video or phone, rather than in a physical office, can be just as effective for your wellbeing. For a time, counselling at Here With You was entirely remote due to challenges posed by the Covid pandemic. And yet, there are numerous benefits to remote counselling that extend beyond the sometimes necessary reality of social-distancing.
You don’t have to worry about the cost and time required to commute to a counselling office. There are no parking fees to contend with.
You can feel more comfortable being in your own space. You can make a cup of tea or coffee, and grab a blanket, or other items that help you feel calm.
Sometimes, when things are especially tough, it can be hard to even leave the house. Remote counselling can support you as you develop the skills to widen your comfort zone.
If you’re in an isolated location, remote counselling allows you to connect with the support you deserve, without having to navigate long journeys that chip away at your time.
Arielle is experienced in working remotely with her clients and will help you feel at ease within this format.
