Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means plans can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video helps preserve face-to-face conversation, phone needs less bandwidth and can fit a work break, while chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel commitments.
