Counselling Options You May Have (Caroline Bronte)

Some people might not realize that when it comes to seeking out help and guidance through counselling that there are different options available. Every person is different, and one type of counselling option might not be the best choice for every person that needs help through counselling. Some of the options that you might have when it comes to seeking out counselling services include face to face counselling, online counselling, and telephone counselling. Each type has its own advantages, so it is important for you to decide which will best meet your needs.

Face to face counselling lets you meet with your counselor in his or her office. It allows you to get personal interaction and the ability to discuss your thoughts, problems, or issues directly to another person. Some people prefer this method because it offers personal interaction with the counselor. For some people, it is beneficial to be able to see the person that they are talking to. You can still expect your session to be confidential, and you may get the added benefit of getting to know your counselor in person.

If going to a counselor's office puts you a little on edge, then you might have the option to complete online counselling. Some counselors might offer certain sessions through chat, but others might prefer a more visual method, such as using a video service to still complete the session face to face. You still get the advantage of meeting with your counselor face to face, but you can do so from the comfort of your own home.

Telephone counselling has some of the same advantages as online counselling. You can complete the session from the comfort of your own home, if you so desire. If you happen to have a mobile phone, you may be able to do your session wherever you choose--even somewhere outside. Telephone counselling offers a certain amount of freedom, but also a level of anonymity in that your counselor doesn't have to see your face and you don't have to go into your counselor's office if you don't want to.

There are actually a few different types of counselling options that you might have if you are looking for help. Some counselors will offer free sessions for you to get an idea of whether or not that counselor is right for you. You might also be able to try out a counseling method to see if you prefer it. Some of these methods include face to face counselling, online counselling, and telephone counselling. One method does not necessarily work for every person; so don't be afraid to choose what will best help you in the end.
