My Counselling / Psychotherapy business is unique in that its a Telephone Counselling service only.
Telephone Counselling / therapy is a structured therapeutic relationship where the client and therapist speak on the telephone / mobile phone, rather than meeting in person.
Telephone Counselling sessions like face-to-face ones are with the same therapist at the same time and on the same day each week. Sessions are only conducted through the medium of telephone counselling.
