Online therapy is ideal if you don’t want to travel or you’re pushed for time. Accessible via smartphone, tablet or home computer – any time day or night – this treatment option is designed to work around your schedule. What’s more, service reviews prove this option is just as effective as face-to-face treatments.
How it works
We’ll ask you to complete a series of guided modules about the difficulties you’re experiencing. The modules are housed in a highly interactive informative space to help you learn, reflect and recover. You can work through the modules any time and as often as you like throughout the week. Your therapist will arrange a regular check-in time for feedback, questions and concerns. Don’t worry if you’re not in or can’t plan ahead, your therapist will see what you’ve done or the difficulties you’ve had by looking at what you’ve submitted. They will then leave notes and ideas that you can check when it suits you.
