Many people are still confused as to what Counselling and Life Coaching is and how it works.  Here I would like to clarify just what it is, how it works and what can be achieved from working with an experienced, qualified Counsellor and Therapist, trained in Person Centered and Cognitive Behaviour therapy or CBT. 

Confidential Online counselling and Online Life Coaching offers the client access to a Qualified, Experienced Counselor or Life Coach without the need to travel for an appointment. It also reduces the obvious stress associated with meeting a stranger for the first time. Online counselling and life coaching can be accessed from your home or work place, in fact from anywhere which has access to the internet. It is much more accessable than face to face counseling and a lot more value for maoney as the counsellor's overheads are lower.
