Online Therapy
Online therapy has been becoming increasingly popular in the past decade and with the spread of COVID-19 it has now become necessary and commonplace. As we remain in various stages of lockdown, our online therapists continue to provide counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy and other forms of therapy using Skype or Zoom. If you are in need of an consultation at this time we can easily arrange an appointment with an online psychologist.
While the thought of communicating through Skype or Zoom might elicit some initial apprehension for clients, we are finding it to be just as effective as sessions held in person and even seeing many clear benefits. Scheduling and attending sessions has become more convenient and people can now find therapists that really suit their needs regardless of where they live.
Online therapy sessions function just like those we hold face-to-face. We will meet by scheduling an initial consultation so you can get a feel for how we work. You can then decide if you would like to continue with more appointments. We have found that Skype, Zoom & FaceTime all work well for therapy and we welcome phone consultations as well.
Convenience & Ease
Sometimes it can be difficult to make time for therapy. Commuting is lengthy, work & family make heavy demands on our time & attention and we’re often too exhausted to carve out space for ourselves. Speaking with an online psychologist cuts through this by allowing us to meet when we can and wherever we are.
More Effective
Interestingly, recent studies show that online therapy is actually more effective than face-to-face therapy! We certainly find it to be just as effective in our day to day practice, as our relationship with our clients remains strong and connected and as clients continue to improve at steady rates and fully recover.
The Right Online Therapist
Finding the right therapist is not always easy. Many people live in remote areas & lack access to services. Others may have issues requiring specialist knowledge or have struggles that local therapists might judge. Online therapy allows you to connect with the right expert no matter where you are.
“I needed to find a therapist that I could trust would be open minded about me and my life but I couldn’t find anyone near me so I had to consider doing counselling remotely. It’s been so important for me to find the right person who understands me so it’s been invaluable.”
”I was wary of having Skype sessions to begin with but it’s actually been great. It’s easy to just pop on and have sessions when I need them. I have a hectic schedule and this makes it so much easier to have some me-time.”
“I’m so relieved my weekly appointment is one thing that hasn’t be disrupted by being in quarantine!”
