The growth of high speed internet and the widespread availability of new forms of communication software and hardware has mean't that it is becoming much easier and simpler to work with clients online, making geographical location much less of a issue.

All the therapies I offer require me to talk to you, listen, and ideally be able to observe you as we speak, so provided you have a reasonable webcam, headphones and a microphone, the online experience will be almost exactly the same as if you attend a session with me in-person. Of all the therapies I offer, NLP therapy and Life Coaching are the most suitable for use online.

Advantages of Online Therapy

• Distance is no longer a problem, with a webcam, the right software and a fast internet connection, you can see and speak to anyone anywhere in the world in real time.
• You are no longer limited to just the therapists or therapies available in your local region.
• You can receive therapy from the comfort and safety of your own home.
• Online therapy is suitable for people who would feel uncomfortable with or are unable to visit a therapist in person.
• No time wasted travelling.
  

Types of Online Therapy Available

This practice offers several forms of therapy as well as several ways of delivering that online to you, depending on the software/hardware you have available. NLP and Coaching would be the most suitable for use online.

• Video based therapy
• Metaverse based therapy *NEW* (within Second Life, Download the FREE client software here)

The preferred method is video based using a webcam and the Skype software, simply because I can both hear and see you as we work, allowing me to pick up minimal cues. The Skype software is very simple to setup, provides superior quality, it works on most kinds of computers (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux) and its free.

Please be aware that certain problems may not be suitable for treatment online, this will be determined either before we start or during the free initial consultation.

How does it work?

1. Sessions are always booked in advance, so contact me first by either email or phone to arrange a mutually suitable date and time for the session.

3. Once you've set up the software, email me your online contact details, eg. your Skype ID or Second Life name.
4. Sessions must always be paid for in advance.
5. Ensure you have the latest version of the software, and that the hardware is installed and working correctly before the start of the session. You are paying for my time as a therapist, not for technical support.
