Integrative Counseling now offered worldwide by phone

Dr. Peter Damgaard-Hansen has made his mind-body-spirit approach to counseling available to people worldwide through long distance phone counseling. While the lack of direct face-to-face contact can be considered a disadvantage for some people, the phone approach has several advantages that has made it a worthwhile alternative for others:

1)   you can sit in the comfort and privacy of your own home and get the counseling you want

2)   there is no driving time or traffic hazzles

3)   you don’t have to dress up or be “looked” at all the time by the counselor

4)   a phone conversation has a private and confidential touch, that many clients appreciate

5)   phone counseling allows coaching when you need it - a new concept in counseling:

           Shorter sessions more frequently as needed can easily be scheduled as a sort of coaching,  that can be very effective when you need to work through a  difficult and highly demanding phase of  your life - such as

                                     a marital crises,

                                     a marriage reconciliation,

                                     a job transition,

                                     parenting difficult children,

                                     living with a difficult spouse,

                                     preparing for an exam,

                                     a serious physical illness

                                     a traumatic loss

                                     etc.

             In such cases expert advice and hands on guidance can be an invaluable support helping  prevent bad decisions, that may only make things worse.

How is phone counseling arranged ?

“Even though I can offer 30 years of professional experience I am fully aware, that setting out on a phone counseling venture with a counselor you do not know, may cause some concern.

Therefore, if you want to explore the phone counseling option, then let me call you for a free introductory conversation/interview to help us get acquainted and discuss practicalities, and we will take it from there. When doing phone counseling I take the phone charges in full.

Can marital counseling also be done over the phone ?

Yes. First I interview each party separately so I can gain a thorough understanding of both sides. We discuss  how their own personal issues relate to the marital problem, and what they can do to deal with these issues more constructively. Sometimes extra individual counseling can be very beneficial in this context. When we are ready we go together all three on the line for a constructive dialogue that I facilitate with a focus on enhancing the parties’ communication skills and their ability to see their own and their spouse’s situation from a new perspective.

In this kind of business it is not possible to guarantee certain results, because the outcome depends not only on the counselor but on a team work between the counselor and the client. If the client does not follow through on the instructions and assignments given by the counselor, the desired results are less likely to happen.
