Email Counselling
Flexible, written therapeutic support at your own pace
A different way to access support
Email counselling offers an alternative to fixed weekly sessions, making support more accessible if time, location, or circumstances make in-person work difficult.
You can write at a time that feels right for you—whether that’s when life is quieter, when something feels particularly intense, or when you have the clarity to put your thoughts into words.
For many people, writing feels easier than speaking face-to-face. It can be a powerful way to express difficult thoughts and emotions, often bringing a sense of release and relief. Whether you’re dealing with something current or working through past experiences, email counselling offers a safe and reflective space to do so.
Writing also gives you time to think about what you want to say, and to process your responses more slowly. You’ll have a written record of our exchanges, which many people find helpful to return to and reflect on.
How it works
You write and send an email in your own time. Within an agreed timeframe (usually within a week), I’ll respond with a thoughtful, therapeutic reply.
I spend around an hour on each response, so as a guide, emails of up to around 800 words tend to work well. We can agree a set number of exchanges in advance, or keep things open-ended, depending on what feels right for you.
Fees are typically £50 per response, with some flexibility depending on your circumstances and what we agree together.
Who it can help
Email counselling may be particularly helpful if you:
Have an irregular schedule and can’t commit to a fixed weekly session
Find face-to-face work difficult due to anxiety, health, or mobility
Prefer to express yourself through writing
Want time and space to reflect before responding
Live abroad and would value counselling in your native language
