What Is Online Therapy?
Online therapy, also known as remote therapy, virtual counselling or online counselling, provides professional therapeutic support through secure video platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Remote therapy offers the same professional support and therapeutic relationship as face-to-face counselling while providing greater flexibility and accessibility.
Many clients choose online therapy because it allows them to access support without travelling, taking additional time away from work or arranging childcare.
How Does Remote Therapy Work?
Online therapy sessions are straightforward and secure.
Once your appointment is confirmed, you will receive a secure link to join your session via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
All you need is:
- A reliable internet connection
- A smartphone, tablet or computer
- A private and comfortable space
- Headphones if preferred
Your session will take place in much the same way as a face-to-face counselling appointment, allowing you to speak openly and confidentially with your therapist.
