QR Codes – Andrea Sheehy Couple Counselling Business Card

Have you seen the new black and white bar code square to the right of this relationship blog yet? Have you seen the one that appeared on the homepage of my website Andrea Sheehy Couple Counselling last November?. It’s the “thingy” that looks like a weird chessboard.

It’s official name is “QR code” ( abbreviated from quick response code) QR code is a two-dimensional type of bar code which can be easily scanned with your iphone or smart phone, it will give you all the essential details of my couple counselling practice quickly and without the hassle of typing or writing them down by hand.

QR codes were first designed for the automotive industry but are now becoming increasingly popular outside of that industry due to the large amount of information you can store on them and their extremely fast readability. They seem to be popping up all over the place at the moment from printed brochures, newspaper ads and even bus stops. I think we will be seeing more and more of them in 2012.

How to Use QR Code

Scanning Andrea Sheehy Couple Counselling QR code is really simple. If you don’t already have a scanner on your phone, go to your “app store” search for QR and you will find many free scanner apps to download.

I’ve found that some scanners work better than others; I have an android phone and so I prefer QRdroid as it’s very user-friendly, however i-nigma also seems a good choice – it’s simple, quick and works well on blackberry, android and iphone.

What’s in it for you?

With one click you can get quick and easy access to all my couple counselling practice details, this will include my name, contact details, hotlink to my website and information that allows your phone to direct you to the practice.

I know that many of you reading my blog or viewing my website are doing so from a smart phone, so if you are surfing using your iphone, android or blackberry simply tap on the code square to get hotlinks to my telephone number and geographical location (to get your phone to give you the directions to my practice).

If you can recommend a free scanner app, or have a comment to make about this post or any other post I’d love to hear from you, just click on the red “comments” section at the bottom of the post.

Andrea Sheehy Couple Counselling practice is for any couple: straight or gay, married, living together or dating. I provide a safe place to talk, help you make sense of what’s been happening in your relationship, explore with you the changes you would like to make, and work with you to create positive and long lasting change.

Autumn Updates

Autumn leaves

New Counselling Location

Hi there everyone,

I thought I’d write to let you know that my Counselling Service is now based at The Atkins Building on Lower Bond Street, Hinckley LE10 1QU.

The maps and directions on the “How to Find Me” part of my web site.

The Atkins Building is in Hinckley Town Centre and is just a very short walk from the previous counselling practice.

My colleague David Allen will be moving with me to the same location and will still be offering longer-term psychotherapy as well as individual counselling and hypnotherapy.

For the past six years we have been offering counselling, hypnotherapy and psychotherapy at Advent House, but we decided it was time to move to a new base. After quite an extensive search we thought that the Atkins Building would be an ideal new location.

The Atkins Building is part of a former Hinckley hosiery factory and is a grade II listed building but it has been extensively redeveloped to provide comfortable meeting rooms, as well as an art gallery and a café. I can recommend the coffee!

First Blog!

Welcome to Andrea Sheehy Counselling Service’s first blog, a brand new departure for me in 2010!

My name is Andrea Sheehy and I am a qualified counsellor, specialising in marriage, couple and relationship counselling. I have been a counsellor for over 17 years. I enjoy working with people and especially couples. I believe everyone has a right to a healthy and happy relationship.

Don’t panic this isn’t going to be one of those blogs that tells everybody what I had for breakfast (I’m never really quite sure how that could be interesting !) This should go without saying really but for the sake of clarity I won’t be writing anything that compromises confidentiality either.

The purpose of the blog is to provide you with some up to date information, give you some extra insights into counselling, therapy, relationships and maybe offer some tips on how to create a healthy, loving and happy relationship.

I’m always interested in learning too, and see this blog as a chance for you to pitch in with your own comments, ideas and wish list for the website and blog.

As it’s a new enterprise I’m not sure how it will develop at this stage so I can’t say exactly what will be in it.

Like any relationship it will always be a work in progress!

Comments fom the blog

 
  • Thank you for this. It is refreshing to see a post on how to cope with the loss of a relationship, rather than on how to keep a relationship.
    In my experience, a lot of relationship advice on the internet is about holding onto relationships.
    Your article focuses on the loss involved, which I think is the crux of the difficulty.

    Comment by Amanda Williamson
  • Dear Andrea, just wanted to say how useful I find this article and your website generally. It really is a professional piece of work.
    Best wishes
    Julia
  • Hi Andrea,
    It's the first time I've visited your blog and I'm very impressed. I love your articles.
    My Husband and I have been together for 12 years now and I believe knowing when to say sorry is really important as well as saying I love you often.

    Comment by Sarah
  • This is wonderful information, and I think it will help many of the grieving families at the hospice at which I work.
    May I reprint this article for our newletter? I will give you full credit in print, of course.
    Thank you for sharing, and thank you in advance for your response!

    Comment by Kelly O'Sullivan
  • Hi Andrea,
    Thank you for having me. Your site is great! I will always visit.
    If I ever know anyone in England or moving there and in need of your services, I will send them to you.
    Comment by Sonia at Marriage Counselling Toronto
  • Hi Andrea
    An excellent article and clear advise about how to select a counsellor for relationship counselling.
    I particularly like the emphasis you place in relation to how the relationship between the client(s) and counsellor is paramount over modality of the counsellor.
    Most of my clients simply want to feel better - I think it is counsellors who get more hung up on modality than our actual clients!
    Keep up the great work ;-)
