Online Therapy
Alternatives to Face-To-Face Consultations
I offer online therapy appointments through videoconferencing platforms including Zoom and Skype or FaceTime if required. Zoom in particular is highly conducive for therapy sessions. Advantages include good levels of encryption, options to share screens for relevant diagrams or documents to enhance our work and a facility to record sessions should you wish to listen again later.
It is natural to feel unsure about videoconferencing appointments and they can feel different to meeting in person. That said I have delivered online therapy sessions for many years and am confident in how to set it up to work well and to work creatively around potential pitfalls.
Almost all people I see who have been uncertain about online appointments have reported that it worked better than expected and all been happy to continue use it as and when necessary.
