Telephone therapy offers a simple, flexible way to access therapy without needing to attend in person or appear on video.
For some people, speaking by phone can feel more comfortable. It can allow you to focus on your thoughts and feelings without worrying about eye contact, appearance, or being seen on screen.

How telephone therapy works
Telephone sessions last 50 minutes.
You will need a quiet, private place where you can speak freely and feel as comfortable as possible. Some people like to sit with a drink, use headphones, or have a notebook nearby. Others prefer to walk slowly somewhere private while talking.
There is no right way to do it. The most important thing is that you feel able to speak openly and safely.
Telephone therapy may be a good option if you feel comfortable speaking without visual contact and have access to a private space.
It may not be the best fit if you feel you need visual connection, creative work, or more in-person grounding. We can talk this through together if you are unsure.
