Online Counselling
Our online services are exactly the same as our in-room services.
In 2012, by popular demand and request from clients who recommended us to distant and international family members, friends and colleagues, we began to provide live online virtual in-person appointments via Skype and Facetime, (and Botim) and thereby built a thriving online virtual practice.
As a professional and ethical Psychotherapist, I would never offer services that were not effective. The counselling and specialist services that we offer are extremely effective and are equally effective as online services offered as virtual meetings. Furthermore, virtual or online anger management, anxiety and or depression therapy, couple counselling, etc. have the added bonus of saving time that would be spent travelling to and from our offices, is more convenient with regard to place, can more easily be built around busy work and family time and time and allows parents to forgo the cost of babysitters.
More recently, during the COVID-19 lockdowns, the use of virtual meetings became widespread in lieu of physical meetings. Virtual schooling, virtual office work, and other personal and professional interactions were conducted virtually online became the norm. Despite the downsides of this with regard to online schooling and online office work which may create problems with the socialisation of children, team bonding, and work management, no such problems exist with Online virtual counselling services. Given a high-speed internet connection, online or virtually, a skilled psychological or relational therapist, Anger Management Specialist, Couple counsellor, etc. remains as effective as ever.
We have many clients who were once we dubious about using online services who met us in person in one of our offices, but tried online for perhaps reasons of convenience or necessity and were pleasantly surprised at the gain of convenience without any loss in quality. However, there are some situations where I would not recommend the use of virtual counselling. If you find yourself unable to maintain privacy in your setting or it is unsafe perhaps because of an abusive person, it is better to visit one of our offices instead.
