Online therapy
The same room, wherever you happen to be standing
Online psychotherapy is not a diluted version of the work. It offers the same clinical standard and confidentiality, arranged around real life.
What it is
A private video session, nothing more complicated than that
You receive a secure link with your booking confirmation. At the agreed time you click it, and we begin. No app to install, no account to create.
For most common presentations, including anxiety, depression, stress, self esteem and relationship difficulty, research shows strong outcomes for online therapy. What matters is the quality of the relationship and the clarity of the work, and neither is lost through a screen.
Where online work is not the right container for what you are carrying, I will tell you and help you find appropriate local care.
Suitability
Who online therapy suits and who it does not
Honesty here saves everyone time. Suitability is confirmed together in the first session.
Often a good fit
- You live abroad and want therapy in your own language
- Work, caring responsibilities or travel make fixed appointments difficult
- You feel more open speaking from your own space
- You are continuing therapy through a relocation
- Local services near you are limited or hard to access privately
Better served in person or locally
- You are currently at acute risk and need local, immediate care
- You have no reliably private space for the full session
- Local regulation makes remote clinical work inappropriate where you live
What you need
Three things, and none of them are complicated
A stable connection
Broadband or 4G is enough. Wired or close to the router is steadier.
Headphones
They protect your privacy and make hearing tone far easier for both of us.
A private hour
A room, a car, anywhere you will not be overheard or interrupted.
Confidentiality
How your privacy is protected online
Sessions run on an encrypted platform intended for clinical use. Nothing is recorded. not by me, and not by you without a specific clinical reason and written consent.
Clinical notes are brief, stored encrypted, and retained only as long as professional and legal requirements demand. Your data is never sold, shared for marketing, or disclosed to family, employers or physicians without your explicit written consent.
I work from a private, soundproofed space, and I ask that you do the same as far as your circumstances allow.
Preparation
A short checklist before we begin
Small logistics make a surprising difference to how the hour feels.
- 1Join two or three minutes early and test your camera and microphone
- 2Close other applications and silence notifications
- 3Have water and tissues within reach
- 4Agree a backup number with me in case the connection drops
- 5Leave ten quiet minutes after the session before returning to your day
