Thinking about online therapy and not sure if it's right for you?
You're not alone - take a moment and read on.
Flexible, Accessible Support - Wherever You Are
I offer counselling exclusively online, providing a safe, confidential, and supportive space that you can access from wherever you are. Online therapy allows you to engage in counselling in a way that fits around your life, without the need to travel or rearrange your day.
For many people, being in their own space can help them feel more at ease and open. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, relationship difficulties, or family dynamics, online counselling offers a flexible and effective way to receive support at your own pace.
Benefits of Online Therapy
Accessibility
Online therapy removes geographical barriers, making counselling accessible whether you live locally, rurally, or abroad.
Flexibility
Sessions can be easier to fit around work, caregiving, family life, or health needs.
Comfort & Familiarity
Being in your own space can help you feel safer and more relaxed, which may support deeper therapeutic work.
Consistency
Without travel time, it can be easier to attend sessions regularly and maintain momentum.
Privacy
Sessions take place on a secure, confidential platform, with attention to your comfort and boundaries.
How Online Sessions Work
Sessions are held via a secure video platform. All you need is:
- A device with a camera and microphone (laptop, tablet, or smartphone)
- A stable internet connection
- A private space where you feel comfortable
I'll guide you through the process and make sure everything feels clear and manageable before we begin.
Online Therapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families
Online counselling works well for individuals, couples, and families. Participants can join sessions from the same space or from different locations, which can be particularly helpful when coordinating schedules or living apart.
Online sessions offer:
- Greater scheduling flexibility
- Reduced logistical stress
- The ability for each person to join from a space where they feel safe
The focus remains on creating a respectful, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment for everyone involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need special technology?
Not at all. All you need is a device with a camera and microphone - a laptop, tablet, or smartphone works. Sessions take place on a secure, private platform that is easily accessible, and I'll guide you through the process to make it simple and stress-free.
What if I don't feel comfortable on video?
We can explore what feels right for you. Some clients prefer audio-only sessions, while other use video, or even a mix of both. Your comfort and sense of safety always come first.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes, research shows that online counselling can be just as effective as face-to-face sessions. The most important elements - trust, connection, and a safe, supportive space - can all be maintained online easily.
What if I experience technical issues during a session?
If something goes wrong, we always have a backup plan. This might be switching to another platform, a phone call or rescheduling if needed. Technology should support your therapy, not create stress.
Is online therapy confidential?
Yes, sessions are held on a secure platform, and confidentiality is maintained in line with professional and ethical standards.
How do I ensure
privacy during sessions?
A quiet, comfortable place where you won't be interrupted works best. This might be at home, in a parked car, or another private space. If privacy feels difficult, we can talk through practical options together.
