Online therapy allows clients to seek support while in the comfort of their own home and space, and is sometimes preferred over face-to-face counseling. It’s also a good option to have during these times of social distancing and isolating.
Sometimes we can be hesitant in communicating through video but rest assured that online therapy or therapy via phone is just as effective as the sessions we hold in person. Our therapists are excellent communicators and are able to provide equally effective treatments online or over the phone to individuals and couples.
This means you can still access the support you need no matter where you are and what your schedule looks like, all from the comfort of your own home.
WHY ONLINE OR PHONE THERAPY COULD BE A GOOD OPTION:
It can be more practical for many people as you can see a therapist at a time that suits you without travelling to The Yoga Root.
Highly suitable for people living in remote areas.
You can start your therapy journey in the comfort of your own home.
Some people feel online therapy less intimidating due to the sense of anonymity it can provide.
A great stepping stone for someone trying to transition to face-to-face later in their journey - such as those with social anxiety.
