Is online counselling worth considering?
A practical option when distance or routine gets in the way
Online appointments are a way to attend counselling, not a separate type of counselling. They may make it easier to ask for support without travelling to Kanturk, while still requiring privacy, a dependable connection and a clear agreement about how sessions will work.
Online may be worth asking about if you
- live farther from the Kanturk practice
- find travel difficult or time-consuming
- need to fit an appointment around work or family life
- have a private, quiet place and a reliable connection
Another arrangement may be safer if you
- cannot speak without being overheard
- do not have dependable technology or internet access
- need a service or level of support that this practice does not provide
- need urgent or emergency help
You do not need to decide this alone. Marie can discuss whether online or in-person counselling sounds more appropriate before an appointment is arranged. Theonline and in-person comparison guidemay also help you think through the choice.

Make room for a private conversation
Online counselling removes the journey, but it makes your own setting part of the appointment. A few checks can help protect privacy and reduce interruptions.
Before the session
- choose a place where other people cannot hear you
- use headphones if they provide more privacy
- silence notifications and avoid shared screens or devices where possible
- check the device, power and internet connection
- allow a little quiet time before and after the appointment
Agree the essentials
- how the joining details will reach you
- how confidentiality and its limits apply
- where you will be physically located during the session
- which phone number can be used if the connection stops
- what happens if privacy is unexpectedly interrupted
Website enquiry details are explained in the privacy notice. The separate arrangements for any agreed remote session should also be confirmed before you attend.
A simple first step
Ask about an online appointment
Your first message can be brief. Mention that you are asking about online counselling, the county or country you will usually join from, and a phone number or email Marie can use to reply.
01
Send a short enquiry
Use the website enquiry form, phone, email or WhatsApp. Avoid highly sensitive detail in a first message.
02
Check fit and arrangements
Marie confirms availability, suitability, location and the practical details with you.
03
Decide whether to book
If the arrangement feels right, you can agree a first appointment without committing to more than that first step.
