There are many advantages and benefits to online therapy. Since the pandemic working online has become a very popular and convenient way of seeking and accessing ongoing support. Below are some advantages to online therapy:
- Research suggests that online therapy is just as effective as face to face therapy
- The relationship between client and therapist is unaffected
- Clients are not limited to choosing a therapist around locality
- It can save time and money due to not needing to travel and this can reduce stress in itself
- Therapy can be accessed in familiar surroundings of your home which can support a relaxed and safe environment
- The same rules of confidentiality apply so you can be assured everything will remain in the strictest of confidence
- Sessions can be attended from different locations which allows flexibility for clients
- This form of therapy can also be very beneficial to those who work shifts or irregular hours
Online therapy takes the same form as face to face appointments. All you need is a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection.
With the introduction of online sessions I am able to see clients from all over the UK and London.
