About Online Sessions Using Skype:
Skype counseling is a great alternatives to face-to-face counseling when you are unable or unwilling to travel to a counseling office. Many people now enjoy the convenience of working on themselves and getting support in their own homes and offices where they feel most comfortable.
I treat skype sessions the same way I do face-to-face sessions.
You may enjoy the benefit of skype counseling if;
* you live in a remote place where counseling services are unaccessible.
* you travel for work a lot and do not want to miss any sessions while out-of-town.
* you would like to have some of your sessions at our office and some of your sessions via skype.
* you do not feel comfortable about visiting a counselor's office or you do not want others to know that you go see a counselor.
* you would like to work on yourself in a place where you feel comfortable.
* you are very busy and do not have time to travel to counseling services.
* you would like to try out counseling before committing to more long-term therapy.
Skype Counseling Tips
The following tips may be useful to make your sessions more effective:
* Please try to create a private space free of distractions and other people’s presence as best you can during the session time.
* If possible please use a head set with michrophone so that you have your hands free (speaker phone might create an echo and may not work so well).
* It would be a good idea to have paper and pencil ready, for eventual note taking.
* If you have phones, please turn them off or set it in silent mode.

Does
It Work?
Many people ask “Does it work?” Yes, most definitely. How
more convenient can it be than being in your own familiar surrounding and do
the necessary healing work, for you to create a happy and authentic life for yourself and your relationships with others.
