Online CBT Therapy

Online therapy takes place through a secure video call, allowing you to have your CBT sessions from wherever you are in the UK. Sessions are similar to face-to-face therapy, with time to talk through what you are experiencing, understand patterns that may be keeping difficulties going, and work together on practical strategies.

You can have your session from anywhere in the UK where you have a private, quiet space and a reliable internet connection. Many people choose to have sessions from home, but you could also join from another private location.

You will need a device with a camera and microphone, such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone, as well as a reliable internet connection. It is helpful to find somewhere private where you will not be interrupted during the session.

Online sessions are usually provided through My Therapy Suite's secure video call system. If needed, Google Meet can also be used as an alternative. With either option, you do not need to download any software in advance. You can just click on the link sent to you before the appointment.

Your online therapy sessions are treated as confidential, just as face-to-face sessions are. To help protect your privacy, I recommend joining from a private space and using a secure, password-protected device and internet connection.

Research suggests that CBT delivered by video can be effective for many common mental health difficulties. Whether online therapy is suitable for you will depend on your individual circumstances, needs and preferences.

Yes, however sessions need to take place somewhere private and where you can speak openly without being overheard or interrupted. If your workplace does not provide a suitable private space, it may be better to arrange your session for another location or time.

If there is a technical problem during your session, we will try to reconnect. If the problem cannot be resolved, I will call you by telephone so that we can discuss an alternative way of continuing the session.

Online therapy sessions are offered to clients who are physically located in the UK at the time of their appointment. If you are travelling abroad, please contact me before booking so we can discuss whether your session can go ahead.
