Online Therapy For Adults:

During our adult online therapy sessions, you can expect a duration of 50 minutes. The initial session will serve as an assessment to understand your unique circumstances and goals. From there, we will work together to create a personalised plan that is tailored to your specific needs. Our approach is collaborative, ensuring that your preferences and objectives are consistently prioritised.

Online Counselling For Young People (Aged 11-18):

We understand that young people have their own unique needs and communication styles. Our online therapy services for young people are designed to be engaging, supportive, and adapted to their specific requirements. Our experienced therapists provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for young people to explore their thoughts and emotions. We are dedicated to helping them develop coping strategies, improve their overall well-being, and achieve their goals. It is important to note that the duration of online sessions may vary, based on how the young person engages within the session and their individual needs, lasting up to 50 minutes.

Benefits Of Online Counselling

Online counselling offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking therapy or mental health support.


Accessibility:

Eliminates geographical barriers, allowing individuals to access therapy regardless of their location in the UK. This is particularly beneficial for those in remote areas or individuals with limited mobility who may have difficulties attending in-person sessions.

Convenience:

Offers flexibility in terms of scheduling and location. It eliminates the need for travel and allows individuals to engage in therapy sessions from the comfort of their own homes, making it more convenient for those with busy schedules or transportation limitations.

Anonymity And Privacy:

Provides a sense of anonymity and privacy. Some individuals may feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and personal information in an online setting, especially if they are concerned about stigma or judgment associated with seeking therapy.

Expanded Therapist Options:

Widens the pool of available therapists. Individuals can choose from a larger network of professionals, as they are not limited to therapists in their immediate vicinity. This allows for a better chance of finding a UK therapist who matches their specific needs or preferences.

Enhanced Accessibility For Specific Groups:

Can be particularly beneficial for individuals who may face additional barriers to seeking in-person therapy. This includes individuals with physical disabilities, transportation challenges, social anxiety, or those in marginalised communities who may feel more comfortable seeking support remotely.

Continuity Of Care:

Enables individuals to maintain continuity of care even when faced with travel or relocation. If someone has an established therapeutic relationship with a specific therapist, they can continue their online therapy sessions without disruption.

"It is important to note that online counselling may not be suitable for everyone or every situation. Factors such as the severity of the mental health issue, the need for in-person support, and individual preferences should be considered when deciding whether online counselling is the right choice."
