In-Person Counselling

Advantages of In-Person Counselling

 

• Providing a safe space for clients – face to face counselling provides a safe and confidential environment for clients who cannot find the privacy at home when living with other family members and don’t want them to overhear you discussing certain personal issues.

​

• Non-verbal communication – there are many cues in the body language which might be hidden when speaking on the phone or online. These are indicators of how a client might be feeling, the therapist will be able to identify them and explore it with you.

​

• Development of therapeutic relationship – for a lot of people, face to face counselling is much more personal and it can help to build a trusting relationship with your counsellor which could have a positive impact on the therapy. Also, some people prefer to see the person they are talking to.

​

• No technical issues – sometimes interruptions are unavoidable, however face to face therapy eliminates the possibility of technical difficulties during the session.
