Back in 2017 I decided to give email counselling a go as a client.
In the beginning I wasn’t sure if email counselling would work. I had so many questions …
Would I not need to actually see my counsellor to trust her and feel able to open up?
Would my counsellor not need to see me and read my body language to be able to help me?
Could my emails be read by others, and would my words be confidential?
What would I write and how could emails really help me therapeutically?
Although I am a counsellor myself, I wanted to try this way of communicating as I was curious and sceptical as to how/if email counselling really works.
I am pleased to say it did work and it helped me so much!
To find out more about my personal journey the rest of this blog can be read over at my sister website Email Counselling Academy (ECA)
In my blog (availble here) I share how NOT TALKING actually helped me go deeper, and how flexibility on when to write worked so well me. I also share more details on how my personal experience as a client led to a shift in my career!
