Online Therapy offers exactly the same support as traditional Face to Face therapy, except that the platform is Online.
People choose Online Therapy mainly for convenience:
-There is no travel time involved and no issues around traffic or finding somewhere to park.
-Therapy is available from the privacy and comfort of your own home or from any other location you may choose.
-It is extremely discreet because you can access it from your home.
-You can access a Therapist of your choosing even if he/she is not located in your vicinity. This can be especially convenient if you live in a rural area.
-You can avail of therapy even if you struggle to leave the house.
– It can be a good way to try therapy if you haven’t done so before as some people find it less daunting than attending for an in person session at a therapy clinic.
– If you need to travel for any reason, you can keep your therapy going without interruption.
However, while Online therapy may have similar benefits, it’s not capable of substituting for traditional face-to-face therapy in every case.
If at any stage your therapist believes that, in their professional opinion, you would be more suitable for Face to Face therapy, they will discuss this with you and we will be happy to source you an alternative in-person Therapist.
