I joined the Face to Face team earlier this year as part of my journey as a trainee counsellor. I was drawn to Face to Face because of its efforts at making therapy accessible and affordable for adults. I believe that it is incredibly important that nobody feels unable to access therapy because of their financial status. I have been thoroughly enjoying the experience of using different modes of therapy, including digital counselling, which is otherwise knowns as online counselling. As my colleague Julia mentioned in her blog on this site in late July 2024, we seek to reach those who may find accessing therapy difficult. Digital counselling provides a great opportunity to expand our services, making counselling more accessible and inclusive for those that find the traditional face to face method daunting or too difficult to access. Whether through telephone or video, both methods of counselling can offer a level of convenience and flexibility whilst still proving a great opportunity to build wider connections. You can speak with your counsellor about what mode of counselling best suits you and this might even involve a blended approach of one or more of the different methods, taking into consideration the varying demands of day-to-day life. If you feel that digital counselling, or another mode of counselling, would be of interest to you, you are welcome to contact our team at Face to Face via either email at [email protected] or call us on 0161 881 1535.
