Why would I see a therapist online?

Online therapy has a number of benefits over in-person. There’s no commute time, no need for parking, no need to get dressed up, and you can be anywhere you like. Clients often take sessions in a park, at the beach, in their car, or going for a walk. While video calls are preferable so we can see each other, phone calls are also an option if you prefer. Another benefit to online is the subtle distance that often allows clients to open up a little deeper, it’s like there’s a safety net of not being face-to-face which can sometimes be a bit daunting. The more open and honest you can be, the more I can help, and the more value you will get from our time together.

Individual Sessions

Individual online therapy sessions are designed for you to process and explore your thoughts and feelings. Your unique challenges and needs will dictate the goals we set for you, and the paths we take together to reach your desired outcomes. While it’s good to begin counselling with the mindset of ongoing sessions at a weekly or fortnightly pace, most clients have found they get the help they need and clarity to move forward with under 6 sessions.

Couples Sessions

Couples counselling sessions are a safe space to talk about what’s really going on in your relationship. To share the feelings underneath the behaviours that are hurting each other. To find understanding, compassion, and new ways to be honest and move forward. To repair and come back to connection, or to lovingly part ways. Couples counselling is a healthy way to clear out old and unhelpful ways of relating, to understand why we (and they) behave and react the way they do, and to learn the most loving ways to take care of ourselves and each other.
