Online therapy provides a safe, effective and convenient alternative to face-to-face therapy.  

 

Studies show that online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is equal to and in some cases, more effective than face-to-face therapy.

 

Working online acts like a a home visit, which is particularly beneficial for clients suffering with the type of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Specific Phobias that centre around the home environment. It is also helpful for those with agoraphobia who struggle to leave the house to access therapy and for social anxiety when screens can be used creatively for exposure tasks, such as presentations.

 

Being highly specialised and insured to work with people in most countries across the globe, I have clients from all over the UK and other parts of the world that access my treatment via video conferencing (Zoom). 

​

Even if you are local, is definitely worth considering working online if you have a busy lifestyle and need to fit in appointments between demands, such as work or childcare. Or it may be that you want the privacy and convenience of logging on from the comfort of your own home. 

​

If distance allows, I sometimes offer a blended approach of online sessions and face-to-face, that can include exposure work in the community where needed.
