Telephone Counselling & Talking Counselling

Covid-19 has temporarily transformed the way we live our lives. Many of the actions we take to regulate our mental health are suddenly unavailable to us at a time of heightened anxiety and uncertainty. In times of self-isolation, social distancing and other concerns it is more important than ever to look after your mental health. I am currently providing services via telephone and Skype to both new and existing clients. My services are available for a single consultation or for a course of therapy.

Dr Valentina Mantica is a chartered counselling psychologist with many years’ experience of working in various mental health roles. I have extensive experience of specialist psychological assessment and treatment of clients with a wide variety of mental health difficulties and of different complexity and severity. I work with the person as a whole and with the way the person relates to their difficulties. I am confident that I can help you with any difficulty you will share with me. You can read more here.

Telephone or Skype Supervision for Psychologists

I can provide telephone or Skype supervision to trainee psychologists, Counselling Psychologists and other qualified psychologists and psychotherapists. Read more here.

 I am working exclusively on Telephone and Skype during the UK Lockdown, until further notice, with an option for new clients to either transfer to face to face sessions or continue online at the end of the lockdown. There is a requirement that, during telephone or Skype sessions, that you can speak without being overheard or interrupted.

The benefit of Skype is that we can physically see each other, an important aspect of communication. As with other digital methods, Skype allows you to attend a therapy session from the comfort of your own location anywhere in the world.

Skype Therapy sessions follow the same format as traditional face to face sessions with the only difference being the format in which the treatment is delivered. If you are not used to video calling it may feel strange initially. I find that my clients who have not used video chat before, adjust to it very quickly.
