Is online Counselling effective?

Yes! Studies worldwide have shown online counselling to be just as effective as face-to-face counselling, and even more effective in some cases. With online counselling, you can communicate in a way you feel comfortable. If you’d feel more relaxed talking to your counsellor in a familiar setting, you can hold the session from the comforts of your home. Find a trusted online counsellor on Bark committed to helping you through a difficult time from anywhere in the world.

What can online Counselling help with?

Online counselling can help with pretty much anything that face-to-face counselling can, including difficult life changes, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and much more. However, if your symptoms are extreme you may want to seek more urgent, face-to-face support. If you’re looking for an online counsellor who specialises in a particular field, like family counselling or counselling for children, you can search for online counsellors in a broad range of specialisms on Bark. Just let us know what you need and we’ll put you in touch with the best match for you.

What type of counselling services do you offer?

At my practice, I offer lots of different types of counselling services – from individual sessions to group therapy. It all depends on what each client needs and what they’ll benefit from. Because a lot of my clients lead busy lives, I also offer online and telephone counselling if that suits their schedule better. Although I always suggest coming in for a face-to-face session now and then, as these are often very helpful.

What qualifications do you have?

To be a certified counsellor, you need to have a Level 4 qualification in counselling. This can be as a diploma, or at a degree or postgraduate level. I chose to go down the university route by undertaking a BSc Hons in Psychology & Counselling. This meant that I got a degree and was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am now a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience and have completed a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules.

What is the main reason your clients come to you?

Most of my clients have certain goals in mind when it comes to their therapy. Often they want to resolve issues which are causing difficulties in their lives. This may be problems in their personal relationships that they want help working through. It could be with their partner, family, friends, or work colleagues. Or they may want to develop coping mechanisms to help deal with their own mental health. But often these can interlink. For example, if a client is wanting help with their personal relationships, this often has a positive knock-on effect on their own mental health.

I had been in an extremely bad place for just over 14 years. I wasn't living, I was waiting to die. I came close many times, just wishing it was over. Doctor after doctor, same generic diagnosis again and again. Here's some tablets etc. The usual. Years past but nothing got better. I don't want to go anymore into it. Then I met Vicky. It was one of those thing's when you know you connect. Then it was the fact it actually felt she listened. She didn't respond with what a course told or suggested she had too. She responded to me. Where I was. Who I was at that time. Something no NHS doctor etc ever did as they were just waiting for the next patient, then the next etc. The time she gave me was mine and it wasn't rushed or wasted. Yes I had some bad day's, but only towards the end did I realise it was actually needed. It was part of the mending, my journey. Vicky led me to somewhere I didn't expect when I asked her for help. I wanted, needed help as I was at my end. She didn't just pull me back from the edge, she gave me value and helped me realise who I actually am. I turn 50 soon and I had never truly understood who I am. I do now. Vicky listened, she didn't tell me I had to do this or that. She guided me. All the Doctors I have seen and met up until I met Vicky, did not get who I actually was or what caused my actual symptoms etc. Not one. Vicky saw something in me none of the rest did. Something I had never known myself. She carried me whilst l struggled, while I tried to understand, whilst I climbed out of my hell. A hell which I honestly thought was going to consume me whole. Vicky gave me a new beginning. A reason to live. The strength I needed and brought me to what actually caused my symptoms/pain. This is not only a review for Vicky, it is to say thank you to her. She didn't just help me, she gave me back something I had lost along time ago. My soul. Thank you.

Rachel was recommended to me by a friend who had also reached out to Rachel. From my very first session, I instantly felt comfortable to open up and express how I was feeling. Rachel radiates positivity and never fails to uplift my mood. She has a very peaceful and soothing aura about her and is such a genuine lady. Not only is Rachel amazing at what she does, she has also introduced me to many useful coping mechanisms. Rachel is very informative, she has recommended some amazing books, blogs, articles, events and links that have been very helpful to me. I’ll always be grateful for the support and kindness Rachel has shown me. Thank you xx

I can’t recommend Rachel enough! I’ve had 2 babies and was really struggling to be my best for them and myself, with in only 3 sessions Rachel helped me unbelievable amounts and I finally feel like I’m back to myself again and an even better version! She really is skilled at what she does and such a lovely person x
