Online Session Info

Online sessions are safe and effective; they offer you the support you need from the comfort of your own space, no matter where you are in the world!  They can be more comfortable for you in many ways, save travel time, and reduce face-to-face contact.

I utilize the Zoom video platform for psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, individual, and group supervision sessions.

There’s robust and growing research supporting the effectiveness of online sessions, which for some individuals, may even surpass traditional face-to-face therapy. You might find my blog post “Researching the effectiveness of online therapy” helpful, where I delve deeper into this topic.

Setting yourself up online

I use ‘Microsoft Teams’, a video conferencing platform that encrypts conversations to ensure your privacy.  When we book your session, you will receive the link for the session in an email.   There’s a helpful video here on how to join a teams meeting.

Please run a test call before you appointment to check your settings before the session, and please reach out for help if you need it.

If we totally lose the internet (which very rarely happens) we will rebook for as soon as possible to with no extra cost to you.

Comfort and Privacy

Find yourself someone comfortable and private to sit, maybe with something you can rest your head back if we use guided imagery/hypnosis.

It is recommended that you only use a private computer and not a phone, work or public computer to ensure your privacy

Turn your phone to silent, and turn any off assistants on your phone (eg Siri) or in your room (Alexa etc).

Under 18s

Young people must be accompanied on screen by an adult at all times -that means the adult must be somewhere on screen while the session is happening.
