Online Counselling and Psychotherapy Questions

There are a number of differences between Online and In Person Therapy. The important consideration is whether the therapy is working and together with your therapists you will speak regullarly to ensure the therapy is meeting your needs.

Many people choose online / telephone therapy and counselling sessions as a flexible alternative or an addition to in-person (face to face) sessions. Sometimes people have all their sessions online whilst at other times online / telephone sessions are used when face to face sessions may not be possible - for example at times of travel or illness, finally some people also find it's a good first step towards in-person / face-to-face counselling too. Research shows that online and face to face counselling and psychotherapy have equivalent outcomes. There is also research evidence to indicate that people who were reluctant to try online therapy did find it a positive experience. (Source BACP Research Conference May 2020).

For some people having therapy online over the internet / phone isn't just convenient, for fitting around their lifestyle, but it also allows them to have a session in the comfortable and familiar atmosphere of home.

Some people choose Online Therapy because it suits their lifestyle, for others it is about finding a therapist that they feel really suits them.

The experinece of therapy Online is different to In Person and people can prefer it saying they find it easier to speak freely.

Using online and telephone therapy enables therapy to continue when meeting face to face is not possible.

Our therapists are experienced in working both Online and In Person and will speak to you regularly to ensure the therapy is meeting your needs.

Yes we work online with couples and partners who have asked us for couples counselling, relationship therapy and marriage counselling.

Working Online is different to In Person and can be the preferred way to have therapy. It's great where partners find themselves in different locations and even if in the same location they can choose to join use separate connections if that is helpful. For example, where couples have struggled with arguing they can find that for some or all sessions joining separately enables easier communication.

Yes, we are working online with families.

Our therapists are used to working online and will help you to ensure you get the most from the sessions.

It is important that you are able to choose a time and place in your home that will enable you to feel relaxed, minimise interruptions and ensure your sessions are private.

We work closely with our professional bodies and insurance providers to ensure we only use methods that are considered acceptable and secure, at the present time we use Skype, Facetime and Zoom depending upon your preference

Please talk to your therapist about where you are located for the sessions and they will be able to talk to you about the legal position for sessions.

We work in the same way as we would if we were meeting you face to face, so an initial session to talk about what brings you to the session and then a discussion about what to do going forwards.

Your therapist will talk with you about the best way for you to work together if technical problems arise.

Yes, all our team work online.

Research shows that Counselling and Therapy Online is as effective as In Person however there can be differences in how people experience online therapy, most importantly your therapist is experienced in working in both ways and will be able to advise if they think working online together is not appropriate.
