Online Counselling by Zoom, Teams and Telephone

Have counselling from home with Patricia Howard, MBACP registered psychotherapist. Sessions by Zoom, Microsoft Teams or telephone, by prior arrangement.

How online counselling works

Online sessions work the same way as face to face sessions. We agree a regular weekly time, and you join by video call on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, or I call you by telephone. All you need is a private space where you won’t be overheard.

Who online counselling suits

• People who can’t easily travel to Reading or Harley Street, London
• Anyone with a busy schedule, caring responsibilities or health limitations
• People who find it easier to talk from their own home
• Couples or family members who live in different places

Is online counselling confidential?

Yes. I work to the BACP Ethical Framework whether we meet in person or online. I’ll talk you through how sessions are kept private at your first consultation.

Online counselling fees

Fees are the same as face to face sessions, from £50 for an individual session of just under an hour, with concessions for students and people on low wages or benefits. Fees.
