Background and approach

Online support
Figuring out the best way to work is a shared process. The therapist will listen to the person's concerns, discuss different methods and agree together what to try first. If something does not feel right, adjustments are made so the approach fits the person's needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and more in-depth work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, mood tracking, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and help people access continuity of care from wherever they are located.
