What exactly is counselling/life coaching?

Counselling/Life coaching at Time For Talking means communicating about certain issues in your life, where you feel you would like to change anything or be able to cope with in a better and more positive way.

It very much has to be an individual's decision and cannot be forced upon anyone by someone else.
People who out of their own free will, seek assistance in their lives or at a certain stage in their lives, can benefit from counselling i.e. from the communication.

The approach used is a very holistic and a psychodynamic one
(bearing past experiences way back into childhood into account).
We deal with:
* Anxiety, *Stress, * Depression, * Panic Attacks, * Phobias, * Eating disorders, * Low self-esteem,
* Relationship issues and *Time Management.

Important notes:

At all times is counselling/life coaching only to be seen as an advisory tool, it cannot replace medication for certain diseases. If this is the reason for contacting us, please get back to your GP for medical advice.
At no time could medication be subscribed to you.
Having a counselling consultation cannot be seen as a miracle cure either. Even when pinpointing the source for your concern, it usually involves quite a bit of time and effort from your side to work on it, deal with the healing (which might be painful) and generally, be willing to undertake some changes, i.e. invest some time.
Due to the limitations of email/phone and even face-to-face consultations the service we offer
will not be appropriate for emergencies.
In case you are currently in an emergency situation, please contact your local hospital,
the NHS help line or a crises hotline.

Please be assured that all matters discussed in any form of counselling/life coaching session
with Time For Talking, are dealt with in strict confidentiality unless required by law to report to the proper authorities. Such exception would be, if there is reasonable suspicion of abuse, neglect, homicide

Time For Talking operates on a fee for service basis, offering the following:

 

*counselling/life coaching face-to-face
(by pre-booked appointment locally only, in Hampshire/ Surrey, England)
The usual time is a 1 hour period but 1.5 hours might be a better option, depending on the situation.
To book an appointment please go to the shop.

 

*counselling/life coaching by email
or in a secure and private chatroom (worldwide)

~for email coaching fees are based on the time taken to read and reply to your emails.

Choosing counselling/life coaching by email is a very easy to use option.
Simply because the client in need always has time in between emails in the comfort of their own home
to apply given tips as well as to think of other possible queries, while assistance is only one email away.

USEFUL NOTE:
Our sent emails are always extremely complex and detailed and most of the time include rather complex findings tailored to your unique circumstances.
Usually such findings can only be developed during one-to-one face-to-face sessions of at least one hour at a time, over a period of several months. For you to be able to also benefit from such rather detailed counselling/life coaching assistance, it has to be noted that the time taken to reply to your emails
(including the preparation time) has to be always several hours.
One off bookings of 30, 60 or 120 minutes' packages, can therefore not offer such in depth assistance. Thank you for your understanding.

In our booking form you will be able to describe your personal situation and ask your questions.
The more detailed your description is, the faster we will be able to forward your in depth
counselling/live coaching assistance.
If your description is only brief we will have to first of all ask you appropriate questions
to find out about your current circumstances regarding your query.
This will already use up minutes from your purchased package.
Hence our tip for you:
Be as detailed as possible in answering our questions on the booking form,
so our counselling/life coaching advise can be forwarded to you soon
and we can do this in the most efficient way.

~for coaching in a secure and private chatroom fees are calculated on the planned length
of the chat. In a secure chatroom the counselling can be delivered in typing or by talking.
For the latter you would have to have a microphone and speakers at your computer as well.

In order to use the secure and private chatroom, you will need to download
the free program 'Yahoo Messenger'. You can very easily download this, free of charge
and with no hassle at all, under the following link http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com/

Alternatively the private chatroom can also be used via the program of 'Skype'.
You can very easily download this, free of charge and with no hassle at all, under the following link:
http://www.skype.co.uk/

The chatroom facility is a very good idea for someone outside of the UK, who would like to have
a real one-to-one conversation, without having to worry about phone costs.

For both types of coaching you would purchase a package of 'time' with your first email.
Those you can top up at any time thereafter. You will always be given an idea on
how much time would be involved in dealing with your email
(reading and answering or time in the chat). The package sizes available
currently are 60, 120, 150, 180 and 240 minutes.
There is also the one-off email package available, which involves 30 minutes only.
This can be useful for someone who has a very brief and concrete query only
and would like a professional opinion on it.

The packages are charged at the minute rate but by purchasing the 180 and 240 package, you will get
an extra 15 minute bonus with each package.

To book any of the above packages please go to the shop.

 

*counselling/life coaching by phone or Skype (pre-booked only)
Charged currently at the same rate as by email (see above)

To book an appointment please go to the shop.
