ONLINE THERAPY

Online Therapy

I offer sessions by secure video. For many people, online therapy is as effective as meeting in a room. It can also make therapy possible when travel, health, work or caring responsibilities get in the way.

Getting Started with Online Counselling

How Sessions Work

Sessions last 50 minutes and I use a secure tele-therapy platform designed especially for talking therapies called Bilateral Base. You join at the session time at the same link and I will be there to welcome you from the virtual waiting room.

If the connection fails, I will call your mobile and / or email you. If we cannot reconnect, we will arrange how to use the remaining time.

What Helps

A private space where you will not be overheard or interrupted. Headphones, which also help privacy. A steady internet connection, and a device you can rest rather than hold.

 Some people find it useful to arrive a few minutes early, and to leave a little time after the session before going back to the rest of the day.

Online Privacy and Security

I use a specialist telemedicine platform called doxy.me which encrypts calls. My practice is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), and I keep records in line with UK data protection law.
