In-Person Counselling
Advantages of In-Person Counselling
​
In-person counselling offers a safe and supportive environment where you can fully engage with your therapist without the distractions or limitations of remote sessions.
​
-
Safe and confidential space – Ideal for clients who can’t find privacy at home or prefer to talk in a neutral, secure setting away from family members.
-
Rich non-verbal communication – Face-to-face sessions allow the therapist to notice and explore subtle body language cues that might be missed over the phone or online.
-
Stronger therapeutic connection – Many people feel in-person counselling is more personal, helping to build trust and strengthen the therapeutic relationship.
-
No technical interruptions – You won’t have to worry about internet drop-outs, camera freezes, or sound issues—just focused, uninterrupted conversation.
Things to Remember!
​
To make the most of your face-to-face sessions, it can help to keep these points in mind:
​
-
Plan your journey – Allow enough time to get to your appointment so you can arrive feeling calm and prepared.​
-
Protect your privacy – If someone is bringing you to the appointment, think ahead about whether you’d like time alone before and after to reflect.
-
Health and wellbeing – If you feel unwell or have symptoms of an infectious illness, let your counsellor know in advance to discuss rescheduling.
-
Personal readiness – In-person counselling can feel intense for some people, especially at the start. It’s okay to take things at your own pace and share only what you feel ready to discuss.
