Online sessions are designed to be simple, secure, and supportive, allowing you to receive professional care from the comfort of your own space.
You don’t need to be tech-savvy, and you don’t need special equipment — just a quiet place where you feel safe.
The platform I use
All online sessions are conducted via Psychology Today’s secure video platform.
• Sessions can be accessed via the Psychology Today app (available on your phone)
• Or directly through your web browser on a computer or tablet
• No complicated setup required
This platform is widely used in professional practice and is designed with privacy and security in mind.
Safety and confidentiality
Your safety and confidentiality are taken seriously.
• Sessions are conducted in a secure, private environment
• No sessions are recorded
•. Your information is handled ethically and confidentially
• You are encouraged to join from a space where you feel comfortable and uninterrupted
Online sessions follow the same ethical standards as in-person work.
Before your session
Once your session is booked:
• You’ll receive clear instructions on how to join
•. You can download the app or use your browser — whichever feels easier
• Testing your camera and audio beforehand is helpful, but not required
If something feels confusing, support is available.
During the session
Online sessions are calm, focused, and personal.
You can:
• Sit where you feel most at ease
• Have water, tissues, or a grounding object nearby
• Take breaks if needed
The session flows just like an in-person session — with the added comfort of being in your own space.
After the session
After your session, you can take time to rest, reflect, or ground yourself.
Some people appreciate:
• A short walk
• Quiet time
• Gentle movement
• Journaling or breathing exercises
There is no expectation to “do” anything unless it feels supportive.
Is online work effective?
Yes — for many people, online sessions feel safer and more accessible, especially for trauma-informed work.
Being in your own environment can:
• Reduce anxiety
• Increase a sense of control
• Make it easier to engage at your own pace
If you’re unsure
It’s okay to feel hesitant about online sessions.
You’re welcome to:
• Ask questions before booking
• Start with a single session
•. Take your time deciding
There is no pressure.
When you’re ready
If online sessions feel like a good fit, you’re welcome to take the next step.
