Cathy Stones Counselling
Online Counselling
Online counselling offers a flexible, confidential, and effective way to access therapeutic support—without the need to travel or take time out of a busy day. Using secure video platforms like Zoom (fully GDPR-compliant and encrypted), sessions feel surprisingly personal and connected. Whether you’re based in Lincoln, Louth, or anywhere across the UK, online therapy removes common barriers like transport, childcare, or social anxiety, making mental health care more accessible than ever.
Research shows that online counselling is just as effective as face-to-face therapy for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. All you need is a quiet space, a stable internet connection, and the willingness to begin.
How It Works
Sessions are held via a secure, encrypted video link sent to you before your appointment. You’ll need a private space, a device with a camera and microphone, and a reliable internet connection.
After booking, you’ll receive clear instructions—making your first session simple, calm, and stress-free.
Is Online Counselling Right for You?
Online counselling suits adults, couples, and older teens who value convenience, privacy, or struggle with in-person access. It’s ideal if you have mobility challenges, live rurally, work irregular hours, or feel anxious about leaving home.
While not suitable for crisis or high-risk situations, it’s highly effective for ongoing therapeutic work.
Confidentiality & Security
Your privacy is protected using professional, GDPR-compliant platforms—not public apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp. Sessions are never recorded, and your data is stored securely in line with UK data protection laws.
You can speak openly, knowing your space is ethically and technically safeguarded.
Getting Started Is Simple
Begin with a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit. If you’d like to proceed, we’ll agree on a regular time, send your secure link, and start your therapeutic journey—no commute, no waiting rooms, just real support, online.
