New Mind Psychology
FACE TO FACE COUNSELLING
The client can explore various aspects of their life and feelings in the counselling sessions, talking about them freely and openly in a way that is rarely possible with friends or family. Bottled up emotions such as anger, anxiety, grief, and embarrassment can become very intense, and counselling allows you to explore them in order to make them more understandable. The counsellor will encourage the expression of feelings and will be able to accept and reflect the client’s problems without becoming burdened by them as a result of their training.

ONLINE COUNSELLING
Online therapy, also known as e-therapy, e-counseling, teletherapy, or cyber-counseling, is the delivery of mental health services and support via the internet. Email, text messaging, video conferencing, online chat, messaging, and internet phone can all be used to provide services. Online therapy can take place in real time, such as through phone calls and text messages, or in a time-delayed format, such as through email messages. Despite its limitations, this type of therapy is quickly becoming an important resource for a growing number of people.
New-Mind Psychology
New-Mind Psychology was established to offer a space for high-quality psychological services that integrate research, practice and training. The service provides specialist assessment, psychotherapy, supervision and tailored psychological training for individuals, organisations, universities and professional services.
