ONLINE COUNSELLING

 Hartwell Counselling Ltd, is proud to begin offering counselling online for those clients unable to attend on-site therapy. We make it possible for you to access services from the comfort of your own home, office, or another location using the video conferencing site Google Meet. To access online counselling sessions, users simply need a tablet, computer, or mobile device with access to the internet.

Online counselling is a great solution for:

  • Individuals and families living in rural or remote areas where resources and services are scarce.

  • Executives, managers, and other levels of personnel seeking counselling but are not able to take time away during work hours to attend counselling sessions.

  • Individuals with barriers to mobility or transportation.

  • Individuals with particular phobias or other difficulties that are restricting their capacity to leave their house or to participate in an in-person counselling session.

  • Parents or caregivers struggling to find child care during their counselling appointments.

  • Couples or family members seeking joint counselling
