Online Counselling via Skype, Zoom or Facetime

If you have problems you feel would benefit from talking through, counselling can be an enormous help. My name is Kay Tromans and I am a very experienced, qualified counsellor in Stoke Newington, near the Highbury borders in North London. I have been working in private practice since 2006 at The Burma Road Practice and in the field for over 20 years.

I’m also a member of The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and abide by their code of conduct and ethics. Approved by WPA and WPA Protocol as a provider for therapy.

My clients can range from those in their early twenties who may be finding life difficult and overwhelming to those who have retired and may be finding life difficult and overwhelming. Anxiety, depression and so forth can affect us all at any stage of our lives.

Counselling or therapy is something that most of us could benefit from at certain stages in our complicated lives, or because of particular events. It could be to work out why relationships feel difficult or elusive, why life feels empty or lonely or why you can feel quite so depressed when seemingly you have everything you ever wanted.

The first step towards finding a therapist can feel daunting, especially in somewhere like London, where there are many counsellors and therapists of all kinds - often offering different types of therapy, or with a bewildering array of letters after their names!

Working with a properly qualified counsellor is essential (BACP membership is generally recognised as a good yardstick) but a comfortable relationship between counsellor and client is the most important factor in successful counselling. To really explore issues and relationships you must feel safe and comfortable.

I am based in Stoke Newington N16, but am currently offering online sessions.

Reach out today to make an appointment.

Starting Counselling

Assuming you make that phone call, we meet and you decide to have counselling, the standard procedure is to meet once a week at the same time. Occasionally some clients decide they would like to meet twice a week.

Appointments can be made most weekdays and some evenings.

Skype counselling is also possible.

How long counselling lasts depends on many variables. However, we can agree to aim for certain goals, and build in opportunities to review how it's going.

Online Counselling

In these difficult days of coronavirus when we are having to self-isolate, counselling remotely makes excellent sense. I offer counselling via Skype, Zoom, or Facetime. In more normal times, it also represents a practical alternative for clients who are unable to travel to Stoke Newington or North London. It's also possible to mix meeting sessions with online counselling ones.

All you need is a Skype or Zoom account, with a camera and microphone on your computer.

The cost and length of the session is the same as with a regular meeting - we simply make advance appointments to talk online at a regular time each week. For details, please contact me.

Sessions are £45 payable by bank transfer.

Counselling & Therapy in Stoke Newington

I see most of my clients at the Burma Road Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice. The Burma Road Counselling & Psychotherapy Practice is situated in a leafy residential street near Clissold Park, Stoke Newington. The house itself provides a quiet, comfortable and welcoming setting.

It has good transport links to North and East London, the City and the West End, with Canonbury Overground Station a few minutes' walk away, and Arsenal and Manor House tubes within reach. There are bus stops within five minutes walk for the 141, 341, 393, 73 and 476.

If travel is impractical, or you prefer counselling via Skype or just telephone counselling, this is also an option. Please contact me for more details.
