Please ensure you are prepared for our session by:
- Please go to www.zoom.us
- Download the app (mobile devices) or program (laptop)
- Test your video and audio to ensure it works – most clients use their phones, which is the best option if you don’t have a webcam.
- I will send you an invitation link. Click on this link and it will prompt you to open up the program on your laptop OR will open the app on your device.
- Be ready in advance as technology is not always reliable. It is best to set it up at least 15 minutes prior to our session.
- Please test your camera, microphone and speaker/headphones prior to the session.
- You need good quality internet for video calls, please make sure that you reduce the number of devices using the internet during the time of your session.
- Other platforms that can be used are phone (audio only), Skype, FB Messenger and FaceTime. The last two options are not as secure as Zoom or Skype and if you chose one of these methods you agree to do so at your own risk.
Please note that whilst every possible effort is made to ensure your privacy and confidentiality whilst in an online session, I cannot guarantee the absolute privacy of any internet-based platform. Whilst the platforms I use are secure (I have never had any issues), they all come with risks as does anything on the internet.
It is also your responsibility to ensure that the space you choose to engage in the counselling is private and protects your confidentiality – I cannot ensure privacy or confidentiality at your end.
