Telephone Therapy with Chloë Swinton
I have extensive experience providing emotional support by telephone and working on national helplines for over 20 years, and have been offering confidential sessions by telephone within the UK since 2013. Working by telephone has many benefits including accessibility, convenience, more anonymity, as well as being affordable. It may be that you simply do not live in Norfolk but wish to work with me. I highlight below some of the other reasons why working by telephone may be more desirable as a method of receiving emotional support.
Suitability
I can offer telephone sessions for counselling, single session therapy or EFT tapping.
Accessibility
Gaining support by telephone can make therapy accessible if you are housebound, isolated or have disabilities including visual impairment. It may be that you find it challenging to leave your home due to social phobias, agoraphobia or anxiety. If you are experiencing domestic abuse or are in a controlling environment, telephone support is discreet and confidential (calls are made to you from a private untraceable number). Therapy by telephone can also be a good option if you are feeling particularly anxious about having counselling or actually getting to the therapy centre.
Convenience
You might live in a rural or remote area where there are no therapy services available, or you may not have transport to be able to get to Norwich where I see clients in-person. If you are a carer or have young children, your time may be pressured and telephone counselling may be your only opportunity to gain support. It may be that you are particularly busy at the moment and work full time but have an hour during your lunch break to gain therapeutic support. You may travel within the UK for your job but wish for a regular session.
Anonymity
Although the therapy I offer is non-judgemental and without discrimination, you may feel you have more privacy without being physically ‘seen’, therefore able to communicate more openly without concerns of race, gender, age, physical appearance etc. It may be that receiving support and asking for help feels uncomfortable and you would prefer not to visit a therapy centre for fear of social stigma or embarrassment. Therapy by telephone is conducted from the comfort of your own surroundings, so you may feel more relaxed or safe in your own environment where you can put your feet up with a cuppa, and even in your pyjamas if you prefer!
Affordability
There are no extra costs (or time) involved such as travelling or parking fees. You don’t even need to worry about the call charge as this included in the standard therapy fee – I make the call to any UK landline or mobile number. Payment is made quickly and easily by bank transfer in advance of a session.

Further information
- Location: I am available for confidential telephone sessions wherever you are, as long as you have access to a clear UK phone line that accepts calls from withheld numbers or a good mobile signal. It is important that are able to find a quiet and confidential space on your own where you wouldn’t be interrupted - this could be at home, work, or even in a stationary car if needed. Please note I do not provide telephone sessions if you are driving.
- Duration: A session by telephone usually lasts for 50 minutes, and is generally on the same day, at the same time on a weekly basis. Regular sessions are crucial to the therapeutic process. I can provide short or long-term therapy dependent on your situation and issue and I also offer single session therapy.
- Cost: I provide a free 20 minute consultation by telephone (book here), then each 50 minute counselling session costs £65, including single session therapy.
Thank you so much for listening to all my worries. It was wonderful to get so much out and to have someone who cared, listen to me. - TS
