Richard Lawton Body psychotherapist

Online counselling


I offer online counselling for those whose circumstances do not allow them to travel or who simply prefer not to meet face-to-face. This can be done either by Instant Messenger (IM) or by email.






IM Sessions


I use Skype Chat to conduct Instant Messenger (IM) counselling. You will need to download the software from Skype and set up an account - (this is all free of charge). Skype messages are securely encrypted, which means that our conversation is completely confidential.

To arrange a session, telephone 0845 094 4505 or email me to arrange a suitable time. Then pay for your session using Google Checkout (see link below).

A one hour IM session costs £25. There are discounts for block bookings: 6 sessions cost £125 (saving £25) and 10 cost £200 (saving £50).

My current Skype status is:

Email Exchanges


For counselling by email you will need to pay for your session using Google Checkout (see link below). You then send me an email which should contain some background information (including your age and sex and any circumstances that may be of note) and the issue that is concerning you right now. I will reflect on what you have written and reply, normally within 24 hours. I may ask you questions to help clarify what you have said.

The cost of this service is £20. The includes reading your initial message, asking any questions I may have and reading your responses, and finally writing a substantial response.

If you are particularly concerned about security, you may use encrypted email to write to me. You will need to use an email browser that supports this (such as Thunderbird with Enigmail). My Public Key is 98815BDD.
