In response to the COVID-19 outbreak and the positive feedback from her clients, Jill has moved to exclusively provide online counselling, where she continues to offer a confidential, safe, secure and convenient service to her clients.
Benefits of online:
- Choice of location for counselling to take place
- Flexibility to fit with personal schedule
- Approachability for first-time seekers of counselling
- No travel time required
- Accessibility to counselling if you require self-isolation or are chronically unwell or on bedrest
- Choice of platform for counselling (Zoom, FaceTime, Skype, phone)
Ways to prepare for online counselling:
- Choose an appropriate space
- Set up your technology in advance
- Reduce distractions
- Jill will send you more tips when you book your online appointment.
Situations that are not suitable for online counselling:
- People who are extremely psychologically unwell or at risk to themselves or others as this usually requires face to face counselling.
- People in domestic violent situations are advised to contact 1800RESPECT, Domestic Violence Helpline or have counselling at a location, like Relationships Australia.
