I didn't have whole sessions over the phone, but my T offers phone calls when I'm struggling, and for some months I couldn't see him in person just whenever I wanted to, so he offered calls too. It's never really an issue that I can't talk openly, because I always know the exact time of when we will have our call. And I will go out of my way to be alone at that point in time, either going outside the office to a place nobody ever is in, or going home early, telling my partner he can't be home at that time and so on...

The calls are usually 10-15 minutes long, and much lighter/not as in depth as sessions. It's more of a support than real work. I'd always prefer sessions over calls, but they are sometimes convenient, and it's nice to be at least able to hear Ts voice when he doesn't have time to see me otherwise.
