Telephone Counselling Throughout Australia

Put simply, telephone counselling is a more convenient way of accessing therapy.  When you choose counselling by telephone the same professional, ethical and confidentiality standards apply as those for face-to-face counselling.

I call you.  The cost of a call to a landline phone is included in the session fee.

Telephone Counselling Tips

As soon as you've made the appointment, mark it in your diary or calendar.

At Home: Arrange for a friend/neighbour to mind young children for the hour or choose a time when older ones are at school. If a partner or house-mate will be home, choose a space where you won't be overhead. If that's not possible, you may want to suggest they go out during the call. Advise anyone likely to visit or phone that you won't be available.

At work: Find an office or space that provides privacy. Let co-workers know ahead of time that you don't want to be interrupted.

Turn off call waiting and your mobile phone to avoid distraction.

Allow for a few minutes before the phone call to relax and think about what you'd like to say during the session.
