Since Covid 19, online working has become much more mainstream. ONS Statistics 22/23 show that 44% of the British work force either work exclusively from home, or partake in hybrid working to suit both the business and the individuals needs.
Online Therapy is now regarded as a highly effective way of accessing Counselling which is meaningful but yet flexible. As
day-to-day life generally gets increasingly busier, accessing regular therapy sessions can prove a challenge. This is where online therapy may suit you better.
Proven benefits of Online Therapy
Flexibility - you can take part in online therapy from almost anywhere. All you need is a private and quiet space with good internet access and a suitable device. If your home cannot provide this then maybe a meeting room at work, a friends house or even your car. The device could be a laptop, IPad or Smartphone.
Accessibility - online therapy is far more accessible than face-to-face and can provide a lifeline for those struggling with illness or injury who are unable to leave their home. It can also prove useful if you often work away, you can access sessions from your hotel room. Likewise, the continuity of sessions whilst away on holiday.
No need to commute - which means you can save time and money on having to travel to your session. This also alleviates away anxiety about getting stuck in traffic or finding a parking space.
Anonymity - Whilst most prefer to see a Counsellor close to their home, online therapy means that you don't have to. This gives a much larger choice of therapists and reduces the risk dramatically of 'bumping into' your Counsellor in your local supermarket.
