Online counsellor??

Hi,
Does anyone know if there are any counsellors or psychotherapists who do online consultations? I really need impartial advice about the way I’m feeling about my marriage and would rather do it online (also covid may stop face to face).

Thanks

We've recently done face to face - I would try and do that if you can.
My friend is doing it online and just not 'gelling' with the counsellor as it's very impersonal.

Good luck

Some do telephone appointments...if not doing face to face. Definitely not worth the bother with online x

I am doing psychotherapy over Skype, it is quite good.

Have a look at the Counselling Directory website. All the counsellors on there are fully qualified and a member of a professional body such as the BACP.
You should be able to search for online therapy there and if you find someone you like the look of you can ask if they will do online.
It can work and some people prefer it but it's important to find someone you gel with

My dd had CBT counselling over the phone and she found it really beneficial.

Most will do you an initial consultation over phone or online at the moment. Some not able to re open the practice due to safe social distancing requirements. You can have a consultation with more than one counsellor. It is important to find someone you feel comfortable with.

And as Nobby says, definitely look to go with someone who is BACP registered. Hope you get sorted Flowers
