I currently hold appointments via Skype (webcam, voice only, or instant messaging) or via e-mail. However, if instant messaging or e-mail sessions are more convenient for you, the initial appointment would still need to be conducted via Skype webcam; this not only helps us to get to know each other but also promotes 'good practice' and safety online.
If you would like to book a session, or would like some more information then please get in touch via the contact page or via e-mail eleanor@onlinepsychologists.co.uk and I will get back to you as soon as possible. The office hours are typically 7am to 5pm (GMT) although some evening appointments are also available.
The rest of this section contains information about the following:
What you need for Skype webcam
Fees and payment methods
What to expect at the initial assessment appointment / subsequent sessions
Ethics and Confidentiality
1. What you need for Skype webcam
Obviously a computer, internet connection and a webcam. You need to have downloaded Skype which you can do here: https://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ While a fast internet connection and good webcam / headphones is recommended, I am happy to, and have, worked with clients with less than optimal internet connection.
Please see the section below about Ethics and Confidentiality regarding Skype.
2. Fees and Payment Methods
Initial Assessment Appointment (Skype webcam only) £65 (90mins)
THEN
Skype sessions: (webcam / voice / instant messaging) £65 (60mins)
e-mail £15 per response/ weekly
Payment by Paypal or Stripe needs to be made at least 48 hrs before the agreed session; after this time we reserve the right to offer that session to another person. Should you need to cancel, please give 48 hrs notice to be reimbursed.
3. What to expect at the Initial Assessment / Subsequent Sessions
You may log on with all kinds of ideas of what 'Therapy' is. Rest assured the 'Therapists' you may have seen in the movies are not how Therapists typically operate! We don't sit in silence waiting for you to talk, for example.
At the first appointment, we will discuss what difficulties you are having, think about why they may have arisen and what is stopping you from moving forward. We will have a goal in sight.
Subsequent sessions will focus on helping you take that step forward, towards your goal.
4. Ethics and Confidentiality
I have an ethical duty to keep what we discuss confidential unless a) you give me permission to do so or b) I have reasonable grounds to believe that you or somebody else is at risk of harm.
I cannot be held responsible for a third-party gaining access to any skype call / messaging or e-mail. I strongly recommend you install an anti-virus programme for security if you haven't done so already. I cannot guarantee that Skype won't record our interaction be it via webcam, voice or messaging and in that eventuality, I am exempt of any liability thereforth.
