Online Therapy Sessions
Online counselling can be a great option depending on your needs. It means you don’t have to commute to a session. You can do it from the comfort of your own home or any private, contained space where you feel safe and comfortable. In fact where you do the session is entirely up to you.
Doing a session in a place where you can completely relax is definitely effective for your therapy. Your home is your domain, a place where you can (hopefully) relax fully. You can set the space up any way that’s comfortable for our time together.
Whether you live in a different region, work an inconvenient schedule, or have a health issue that makes leaving the house difficult, online sessions can be really convenient.
They can also provide a sense of distance that may help you to relax. In fact some people prefer to work this way because they find it easier to maintain a sense of themselves.
How to prepare
With our online counselling sessions it’s important that you create a safe, comfortable and contained space where you can do the session. A safe, contained space is one where you feel comfortable to open up and speak honestly about what’s happening for you. Ideally it’s a space where nobody will disturb you for the duration of the session.
Pets are an exception to this. I’ve found that having your cat or dog close by during a session can be a great support.
