Online CBT Therapy
Online CBT therapy has recently become the new normal because of the Corona Virus pandemic but we have been offering it for years. Being a specialist therapy practice means clients have sought our services not only outside of London but also from abroad. We also have a lot of clients that live locally but choose to access our services remotely because of the convenience of it.
We are confident and experienced in adapting therapy techniques to online platforms. We endeavour to provide you the same level of quality as you would in face to face therapy.
We offer Online CBT Therapy sessions via a number of flexible, secure online or telephone options such as Skype, Zoom and phone.
According to the British Psychological Society there is good evidence that therapy can be delivered competently via online platforms or telephone and that it is possible to build up therapeutic relationships that are as strong as those formed in face to face therapy.
The therapy process works in exactly the same way as in face to face therapy with materials and exercises being shared online. This means that you can be talking to your therapist whilst working in real time with relevant material on the screen.
We have found that online CBT Therapy can be particularly effective when working with Anxiety disorders including OCD, BDD , Vomit Phobia , Agoraphobia and other specific phobias. This is because Exposure therapy can be carried out both at the clients home and outside with the Therapist being present online and actively directive and supportive.
For example in contamination OCD it is often the case that the problem is worst at the person’s own home and in the old days domiciliary visits were quite an integral part of treatment with the therapist travelling to the client’s home to guide exposure treatment. This was harder to organise logistically and would significantly increase the cost of sessions having to add travelling time to the fees. With online therapy the therapist can be present in the client’s home virtually and guide and support exposure work saving extra costs and providing the convenience of arranging sessions to accommodate travelling logistics .
At a time when most of us lead very busy lifestyles online therapy is a great option that will save you time and the inconvenience of travelling to see a therapist. You can be in the comfort or your own home or if you travel a lot you can keep the continuity of your sessions. Online CBT therapy is also often chosen by clients who have childcare demands.
Another important benefit is that you have the ability to access the right therapist for you without being limited to what’s available in your area, city or country.
Finally some people choose online therapy because they like the privacy and discreteness of not having to go into a practice.
