Ways of Working
Email - asynchronous exchanges
As a client you may send me your email at any time, although we should aim for a weekly exchange, it doesn't have to be. I will acknowledge receipt of your email as soon as I have seen it. From that point I will endeavour to respond to you within 2 working days, or give you a new deadline depending on the state of my diary.
Asynchronous exchanges use this email address: thesafeplaceonline@hushmail.com
Chat - synchronous exchanges
We will arrange a time to meet and we need to be at our computers at the time arranged for a text-based conversation.
We will use Skype text messaging service, and my username there is thesafeplaceonline@hushmail.com
You will need to advise me of your username some time before our meeting
VOiP call or video call, or Telephone
We will arrange a time to meet and you will need to be at your computer, or telephone, at the time arranged and be in a private place where you can talk freely and without interruption for an hour. If it's telephone, please try to use a landline for the call.
Once again, for Skype use thesafeplaceonline@hushmail.com
For telephone use (+44)1628 522401
Hybrid combination
We may choose to, say, start with a text-based chat, then exchange a few emails, then have a Skype call from time-to-time or if something comes up. Each time we meet or exchange, we can decide on the next step.
Missed sessions
If you find that you are unable to make an appointment I would appreciate as much notice as possible. See Contingency Planning.
