individual yarns are personal, challenging, instructive and encourage hands on participation whether your seeking counselling for your private life, cultural supervision or professional supervision. Live sessions are 60 minutes long and available in the Gundungurra/Tharawal (Robertson NSW) office or by phone or Zoom which may require updated technology and access to the internet. Appointments are available as early as 8am Australian Eastern Standard Time (or Daylight Savings from October to April) and can finish as late as 8pm
for longer pauses between sessions, or for those who want to communicate in a different way or just can't get to an appointment during daylight hours offline yarning is available to support a personal pace of back and forth written English communication through email, Slack, Dropbox or snail mail. English level is not important in offline yarning as spelling plays no part in counselling. Clients respond when they wish, whether it be 2am at the end of a shift or at 9am after dropping the kids off at school. Our professional response arrives within an agreed three or seven day turnaround. Offline yarning is designed to have as much depth as a sixty minute live session, and includes four back and forth responses within a six week period. When the Client is ready to close the relationship, all the content is deleted completely from our end
client receives an email with consent form and questions to help determine the best starting point. From now, there are four responses to the yarn
1 .. client sends back info and counsellor (same person throughout) provides input and reflection within the agreed 3 day or 7 day turnaround
2 .. client responds in their own time and counsellor provides reflection
3 .. client responds in their own time and counsellor provides reflection
4 .. client responds for the final time and counsellor provides reflection on last response and thoughts going forward
all four sessions are finished within six weeks of the initial introductory email, unless otherwise arranged and the same rules of confidentiality apply to both live and offline yarning sessions
