The Epsom Counselling Service (ECS) understand that counselling and therapy should be accessible to all, no matter the location or environment. The ECS have a number of qualified and experienced practitioners who offer flexible pricing (£25 to £75) for online work.
All ECS practitioners are BACP or UKCP registered and hold relevant insurance. Additionally, they all benefit from industry-mandated supervision from experienced and regulated senior practitioners.
There are differences between an online and in person counselling experience. And it’s something of an individual choice. The ECS recommends some research before choosing a route. The Online Service Manager, Georgia Gibbs, will be happy to offer guidance and support in this during the initial consultation.
Online work can take place across various platforms, from ‘zoom’ video calls to standard phone calls via mobile or landlines.
General benefits of online therapy include:
- convenience and flexibility eg for shift workers or people with busy schedules
- ‘home’ as a safe place to begin counselling sessions for those that suffer more extreme anxiety and nervousness
- where accessibility could be a challenge eg public transport, personal circumstances
- cost effectiveness eg the avoidance of travel costs
- potentially quicker process to ’embark on your journey’
To book an initial online enquiry please contact Georgia, our Online Service Manager, on 07903 190147. If your call is not answered, please leave a brief message, with your contact number and availability to receive a return call.
The consultation session allows us to get to know one another and for reassurance in what can be offered. We provide both brief and longer-term therapy, depending on your goals and therapeutic needs. It will be reviewed on an ongoing basis between you and your counsellor.
