Counselling
Online counselling on Teams
A real session, not a lesser one — Jamie Blackall on when video work is the right door.
What this can look like
A diary that will not reach Hartley Wintney. Illness. Caring duties. Social anxiety that makes the waiting room a mountain. A preference for your own kitchen.
How counselling can help
Online work is still confidential work if you can get a private room and a stable connection. I will talk about what to do if the call drops, and what is not safe to do on a laptop in a café. In-person remains available.
When it is more than counselling
If you are in crisis, a video hour is not 999. We agree how you would get emergency help from your location.
