Online Therapy
The Advantages of Online Therapy
Advances in encryption software, together with the availability of increasing bandwidth makes online therapy an attractive option for most people. If your internet connection has enough bandwidth for streaming movies or playing games online, then you set to go for online video counselling.
Provided you are able to create a safe and comfortable space, a space where you will not be interrupted during the course of our session together, online counselling has many advantages over in-clinic visits. Booked sessions can be a little more flexible not only that, but you are likely to feel more comfortable in your own space and the inconvenience of travelling to appointments will be avoided.
Having said that, if privacy is a concern, or if you live with a curious ″other″, please let me know in your email and alternative arrangements can be made.
All sessions are conducted through the leading video conferencing platform Zoom which has end-to-end encryption and is available on either mobile devices or desktop computers.
To make an appointment you can send me an email so that I can call you back and arrange an initial appointment. You may also add any information or questions you may have in the booking note box, and these will be answered by email before the session. You will be sent a confirmation email after your booking.
If you are interested in video counselling but feel uncertain about the setup process with Zoom email me I will take you through the download process then send you a link to the online room.
Emails to confirm platform details (Zoom), as well as room details, will be sent prior to the session time. Please allow 10 minutes or so to settle in before session.
Please download and install the Zoom program before your first counselling session.
