What is online therapy?

Online therapy is a way of engaging in psychotherapy through a secure video platform. It provides a confidential and supportive space to explore thoughts, feelings, and life experiences while attending sessions from your own environment. Online therapy follows the same professional and ethical standards as in-person therapy.

2. Is online therapy effective?

Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy for many people. The quality of the therapeutic relationship is what matters most. For some clients, online sessions feel more accessible and flexible, helping maintain consistency and engagement.

3. What can online therapy help with?

Online therapy can support a wide range of life challenges, including:

• Anxiety, stress, and low mood
• Depression
• Relationship difficulties
• Work-related pressure or burnout
• Identity or cultural challenges
• Life transitions and periods of uncertainty
• Trauma and past experiences
• Low self-esteem or feeling disconnected

You are welcome to bring anything that feels important to you as therapy is guided by your needs and priorities.

4. How do online therapy sessions work?

Sessions take place at an agreed time using a secure video platform. Each session typically lasts 50 minutes. You’ll need a private, quiet space where you feel comfortable, and we’ll go over any practical considerations before starting.

5. Is online therapy confidential?

Yes. Online therapy sessions are confidential and conducted according to professional and ethical guidelines. Secure platforms are used, and your privacy is carefully protected. Clients are encouraged to choose a private space to ensure their own comfort and confidentiality.

6. Do you offer online therapy worldwide?

I am UK-qualified and UKCP-registered. I offer online therapy internationally, subject to local regulatory requirements. My professional indemnity insurance provides worldwide cover for online therapy sessions. Please contact me if you are based outside of the UK and we can explore options. 

7. What do I need to start online therapy?

To take part in online therapy, you will need:

• A stable internet connection
• A device with a camera and microphone
• A private, quiet space
• No special software is required, and we will review practical arrangements before your first session.

8. Do you offer in-person therapy sessions?
