How online psychotherapy works
Whereas counselling is often sought in times of crisis, psychotherapy tends to be a much deeper and longer process, which is designed to enhance personal and self-development. Being able to connect remotely makes delivering the help you need more timely and convenient.
You can choose the delivery method which suits you best: Zoom, FaceTime, phone or a mix of these. You can also include face to face if you live close to London.
Benefits of online psychotherapy
- It takes place at a time convenient to you with no notice required, you just log on to the website and type a message whenever it suits you.
- Unable or unwilling to seek out face-to-face therapy. This includes clients who may feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, or ashamed to see a therapist in person, but have relationships impacted by sexual/physical abuse, substance abuse, eating disorders, divorce, infidelity, and other subjects.
- Maybe you are very busy, working or studying long hours, or travelling and cannot commit yourself to a regular face-to-face appointment. Or you may be housebound for some reason or caring for small children, elderly parents and cannot spend time away from home.
- Whatever your reasons or life style, psychotherapy or counselling online can be positive for you, as it is: affordable, private, safe and available worldwide.
To begin sessions I will need to assess your situation and develop the correct course of treatment. See Making first contact.
