It depends, if you check to ensure you can connect soon after booking your appointment and contact us, we may be able to help you get setup. If you leave it to the last minute and find you have problems the counsellor may charge you for the missed appointment.   

The Counsellors NZ platform specializes in offering video counselling sessions. Some counsellors may arrange to call you for the session should you encounter technical issues or just prefer to have your sessions over the phone.

Online Counselling

No, clients who are high risk and consider themselves at risk of harm to themselves or others are not generally considered good candidates for online counselling. 

Online clients need to be able to find a safe place that allows them to engage in the session and talk freely with the counsellor. This is not always possible at home or work.   

Does the counsellor mention your main issue in their profile? If they do, it is a good indication that they have had a lot of experience and additional training to help clients with that particular issue. Some counsellors choose to write articles in our articles section. Is what they have written helpful?
