About In-Person Counselling
Why Choose Coast?
At Coast, I offer clients the space to be able to talk safely, away from the distractions of their day to day lives and their usual environment. Having this space also allows you to leave the therapy within the therapy room, while the commute allows you to process the therapy or any strong emotions before returning home. This service also allows me as a counsellor to pick up on a lot more non verbal communication that can get missed when working online. Approximately 55% of communication is non verbal, such as body language, facial expressions and tone of voice that can be missed with online therapy.
Benefits of Working with Us In-Person
Safety & Confidentiality

Being able to use my room offers you the space where you will not be overheard by family members, housemates and colleagues etc.
Physical Boundaries

In person therapy helps you leave the session within a seperate space away from your personal life, preventing emotional work from spilling into your home or work environment.
Reading the Unspoken
Read More
A significant amount of communication is non verbal and these subtle cues such as body language, facial expression or tone of voice might be missed in virtual sessions. These observations can provide valuable insights into your emotional state, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of your experiences and feelings.
Elimination of Distractions

Sessions are free from domestic interruptions like pets, children or technical glitches (Wi-Fi drops or audio lag).
Power of Presence

Being in the same room allows for co-regulation, where your nervous system can literally calm down by being near a grounded, empathetic professional.
Better Outcomes

Some research indicates that while both online and in person therapy are effective, both clients and therapists often report better results and stronger relationships in face to face settings.
The Travel Ritual
