Online Psychotherapy & Counselling
Online therapy offers a practical and effective alternative to meeting in person. It can be particularly useful where distance, travel, or professional commitments make regular face-to-face sessions difficult. Many clients work online successfully for extended periods, and for some it becomes the preferred format.
Things to consider
Online work is comparable in effectiveness to in-person therapy, but the experience is different. Subtle aspects of communication — such as silence, eye contact, or shifts in posture — can feel altered on screen.
For some types of work, especially where emotional regulation is fragile, meeting in person initially can be helpful. Where possible, I often recommend one or two face-to-face sessions at the outset, though this is not essential.
Suitability can be discussed during consultation.
Methods
- WhatsApp Video (preferred)
- Microsoft Teams
- Zoom
Session initiation
I do not usually initiate online sessions. Clients begin the call at the agreed appointment time.
This provides clarity around boundaries and ensures you remain in control of when the session begins.
