Benefits of online therapy

• You can create a comfortable and private space in your own home from which to attend therapy
• You may find it easier to talk, focus and express yourself
• You may enjoy wearing comfortable clothes and avoiding a commute
• You may have more flexibility around scheduling
• Research shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy

Challenges during online therapy

• Internet connection, I can help with setting up of our Zoom connection if needed
• We may have to be more verbal, as we cannot see our whole bodies. Setting camera at eye level can help with eye contact and facial expressions
• Self -Care around screen time is important, especially if you are using computers for work.

To get the most out of your sessions…

• Check that your space is private and comfortable
• Do Not Disturb notices
• Headphones can help with privacy
• Turn off other applications/notifications and phone on silent
• Please avoid alcohol/drugs, before or during sessions
• Pets are welcome, if not distracting
• Give yourself time before and after the session, before re-joining family/colleagues.
