What to expect when working therapeutically online
If we were to decide to work online here are some of the things you need to be aware of before we start. I will also send you a more detailed information sheet about how to prepare for our online therapy session.
My preferred video conferencing platform, also recommended by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, is ZOOM, (free service). Please register before we start. More information here: ZOOM
Once we have agreed a date and time I will send you an invite by email. At our allocated time I will be waiting for you in our virtual room. All you need to do to join is log on using the Personal Meeting ID and password, which I will email to you.
If you prefer to use a different video conferencing platform please let me know and we can explore that together.
It is advisable to use headphones.
If you are new to online video calls perhaps try to practice with a friend or a family member beforehand.
