Extensive Counselling
Extensive counselling is a good option if you would like to work with a counsellor for a longer period, probably over several weeks or even months. It includes seven email sessions in all.
This option gives you the opportunity to explore issues or challenges in more depth than very brief counselling. It is also a good option if you are currently undergoing a difficult transition or period of change and feel that you would benefit from ongoing counselling support at this time. It works as follows:
a. You send your initial enquiry.
b. Your counsellor responds within 24 hours.
c. You send your response to the counselling email with your thoughts, feelings and comments, as well as the results of any exercises you may be given.
d. Your counsellor provides an indepth response within 48 hours.
Steps c and d are repeated six more times. You can decide how frequently you contact your counsellor.
Book 7 email counselling sessions, £120.
Immediate crisis - Online Counselling is not an appropriate solution for an immediate crisis because of the time lapse between contacting your counsellor and receiving a response. If you are in an immediate crisis situation it is important to seek local help immediately. Please e-mail jo@samaritans.org now and ask for help. You can also contact The Samaritans through their website: www.samaritans.org.
