Gavin Donald's Company Details
If you are a counsellor working in the private sector you probably need to find your own clients, and that can be tough going. My job is to help you with that.I built Talking Couch in order to help people who are going through emotional difficulties to find the right counsellor for them. Clients visit the web site and search for counsellors, like yourself, in our directory. They then make a booking for an online counselling session, we take the payment upfront and you receive it directly into your bank account. I think that online therapy is going to be a big development in the field of talking therapies. I ran a survey with help from BBC Radio Orkney, and found that 56% out of the 174 people who responded said they would prefer their counsellor to live in another town.So would all of those people prefer to use an online service? Well, I checked that out as well and found that a massive 82% said they would be more likely to use an online counselling service if they knew about one.I do not believe that online-therapy is a replacement for in-person therapy, but there is a clear demand for it. That is why I built Talking Couch.Two great features really propel online counselling into the 21st century. The virtual therapy room allows you to go full screen, hide the video stream, mute or suspend a session and text chat with your client. The behavioural tracking system allows the client to share their weekly diary with you so that you can easily integrate their weekly concerns into your counselling session.It is free to setup your profile and to begin receiving bookings, and it may even save you a bit in travelling costs and therapy-room hire.I built Talking Couch with the highest encryption standards. All communications whether via video or messaging are encrypted to the HIPPA standard. Visit now to find out more about how it works.
