Telehealth Online Therapy

Online Therapy for Adults Across Australia

HELPING ADULTS FIND SOME PEACE AND BALANCE  

ARE YOU DEALING WITH ANY OF THESE ISSUES?

  • You live in a rural or remote location with limited or no access to a local Therapist.
  • You haven’t been able to find a local Therapist you can connect with.
  • You are ‘time poor’ and unable to attend regular appointments in person.
  • You have transport issues, limited mobility, or health related problems.
  • You find it hard to leave home due to anxiety or agoraphobia.
  • You are a frequent traveller or FIFO Worker. 
  • You are the Primary Carer of someone and can't leave them.
  • You have privacy concerns about seeing a local Therapist. 
  • You have safety concerns due to the coronavirus pandemic.
  • You prefer the flexibility, convenience, safety, and privacy of seeing a Therapist online whilst in your own environment.

 IT IS POSSIBLE TO MANAGE ALL OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND HAVE SUPPORT AT THE SAME TIME  

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ONLINE THERAPY?

  • There is a greater choice of therapists from a broader geographical area.
  • Increased flexibility and convenience if you have many commitments.
  • You can have a session in the comfort of your own home or other location.
  • You do not have to factor in travel time, traffic, or parking issues.
  • You can be seen during those times you feel unable to leave your home.
  • You can receive support during those difficult times when you feel alone or lonely.  
  • You can obtain support during the pandemic whilst keeping yourself safe.
  • It provides an alternative avenue of healing when it’s just too hard to organise and commit to sessions in person.

WHEN IS ONLINE THERAPY NOT A GOOD FIT?

  • If your personal safety will be compromised when online.
  • If you have confused thoughts or feel extremely paranoid.
  • If you are experiencing symptoms of psychosis or mania.
  • If you are under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
  • If you have a diagnosis of delirium or dementia.
  • If you are an inpatient of a hospital or psychiatric unit.
  • If you have thoughts of harming yourself or anyone else. The best option for you is to ring Lifeline on 13 11 14, present to your nearest hospital, or ring 000.

WHAT WILL I NEED FOR AN ONLINE SESSION?

  • A smartphone or computer with a webcam for video sessions.
  • Headphones or earbuds for privacy and better sound quality.
  • A good internet connection. If you can stream Netflix your connection should be good enough for video sessions.
  • Ensure your device is adequately charged and your technology is working smoothly.
  • Ensure your computer or device has up to date software and security installed.    
  • Ensure that Zoom is installed on your device or computer. 
  • A private room or other location where you feel safe and comfortable, you will not be disturbed, and your conversation cannot be overheard. 
  • Please make sure you are not driving at the time of your session.
  • If the session is interrupted by internet issues, use this an opportunity to take a breath, and remind yourself that sometimes things happen that are outside our control, and we can only do the best we can in each moment.

Meeting with a therapist can be life-changing. If you are looking for a pathway to healing and inner peace Online Therapy might be for you.
