We decided to call our Service 'The Human Touch', because we believe very firmly that it is essentially the communication between people that serves to heal. We want to come across on the internet as real people who care deeply about our clients and always relate to them as individuals. The basis of our training is the Person-Centred approach to counseling, which affirms that all human beings have an inbuilt drive to move forward. At times in our lives, however, we may become stuck on our way. This may be due to a specific situation - perhaps a relationship breakdown, or a life threatening event - or it may even be due to constant damaging factors throughout childhood, which sap our self-esteem and motivation to live life to the full. Talking things through with a counsellor, who truly engages with you and sees where you're coming from, can help release you from these blocks and allow you to continue on your movement forward through insight and practical knowledge. While we may use many different techniques and strategies available to assist in the healing process, in our view, they are not the most important consideration. In essence, our way of working really focuses on the quality of the relationship that is established in therapy, as it is this that dictates the final outcome. We know through our experience in counseling that individuals will discover within themselves the capacity to use this relationship for growth and change. But how does this work on the net?

Much has been written about online relationships. In fact, the general consensus seems to be that they can be just as real and intimate as some personal encounters. In our experience, we have found that a powerful and mutually trusting relationship can be established online just as in face to face counseling. In fact, in many instances, anonymity actually helps clients to express their true feelings more quickly and accurately than in a face to face setting, where they may consider counsellor responses more carefully. Some of our recent clients have been kind enough to express their views, which provide a clearer insight into how online counseling can work for you.
