100% Online Therapy

​
 

• COVID-19 changed everything of course, including how therapy could be delivered safely. I was new to online therapy prior to the pandemic but have come to find that it is as good as, or better, than face-to-face therapy for clients. Fortunately, there is also evidential support for this as a meta-analysis (combined outcomes from multiple studies) conducted in 2021 showed no difference in positive outcomes between face-to-face and online therapy.

• Whilst the same issues that forced us into remote working are thankfully no longer a problem, I have found that it is simply convenient for clients to be able to connect online given that many individuals continue to work remotely at least part of the time. It can also save time for clients when there is no travel required allowing therapy to better fit into a busy schedule.
  ​

• Another reason I find remote working can be beneficial is that I work with a number of individuals who have physical health difficulties resulting in barriers to attending appointments in person, including many buildings still not being equipped to meet the needs of individuals who are differently abled.​

​

• Finally, I have access to a wealth of resources that have been designed to be delivered remotely, and I have found that it is less 'clunky' to share documents on screen and complete these together than it would be in person. Many of the resources I share come from Psychology Tools. CLICK HERE for more information.

It's important to acknowledge that online therapy is not for everyone, and I will always do my best to connect you with a suitably qualified therapist on the island for face-to-face therapy if this is what you would prefer.
