How does online counselling work?
Counselling is a process which allows you to explore your current problems with alcohol in some depth.
It gives you the opportunity to talk openly about what goes on in your head, how you feel about your life, and how you tend to cope with those feelings.
You will discover the reasons behind your alcohol problems, and why you can’t seem to stop drinking, even though you want to. As you find out more about yourself, the counsellor helps you to come up with solutions to your problems.
Online counselling is just a different way of delivering this.
You use one of our private instant-messaging chat-rooms to talk with your counsellor at a pre-arranged time, so of course you don’t need to leave your home, you don’t need to get to a clinic and back again.
You don’t need a web cam, so you are totally anonymous. You just login with your counsellor and start typing what you need to say. Each session lasts for an hour.
You will receive a transcript of each session, allowing you to review everything said by you and your counsellor. From this you can clarify anything you’re not sure about, which is an advantage over other therapy methods.
Typing text can be a very precise method of communicating, there are no interruptions and you can say something exactly how you want to. Of course if you discover that it’s not for you, then we offer a full refund.
Alternatively, if you would actually like to see your counsellor face-to-face, we can use a Skype video call.
How long will counselling take? That varies from person to person. It depends upon your current situation, who you are, and how motivated you are.
You can stay in daily contact with your counsellor through our journal form - where you can record your thoughts and feelings related to your drinking.
