LET’S TALK ABOUT
ONLINE THERAPY
Online therapy is an integral part of The Mindful Psychologist and is becoming an increasingly popular way for individuals to engage in therapy. Our therapists have been providing therapy online for many years and are well versed in how to ensure you get the most out of your online therapy sessions. Evidence has demonstrated that Telehealth sessions are equally effective and equivalent to face to face therapy. This modality is encouraged when external factors such as COVID, work or childcare arrangements might limit your ability to access the psychological support you need.
SESSION LENGTHS
Online therapy sessions run for approximately 50 minutes and are based on trauma-informed evidence based treatment.
AVAILABLITY
Available times for telehealth appointments are flexible so please discuss what works for you with your clinician.
METHOD
When accessing Telehealth sessions though TMP these sessions are held via secure Zoom video conferencing.
