Telephone Counseling
Some countries regulate the use of the term "counselor". Telephone counseling and Crisis hotlines provide a similar telephone support service, and both usually accept crisis and non-crisis calls.
The term "emotional support helpline" is sometimes used – which does not imply crisis or counselling, and can include email and messaging.

Famous quotes containing the word telephone:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
