Remote Counselling and Psychotherapy
Remote counselling and psychotherapy is a modern way of providing psychological support, adapted to the needs and rhythms of everyday life. Through the use of technological means, such as video calls or telephone sessions, it enables people to access quality psychological care wherever they are.
Benefits of Remote Therapy
1. Accessibility from everywhere
Remote psychotherapy removes geographical barriers, allowing you to connect with the therapist no matter where you are. It is ideal for people who live in isolated areas, travel frequently, or have limited mobility.
2. Time flexibility
With flexible scheduling, sessions can be adapted to your daily rhythm, without being affected by your professional or personal commitments.
3. Comfort and privacy
A session from your own space can create a sense of safety and intimacy, which facilitates the expression of feelings and thoughts.
4. Equal effectiveness
Research shows that distance therapy is just as effective as face-to-face sessions for both short-term and long-term interventions.
When is remote psychotherapy useful?
- In times of crisis or need for immediate support.
- When there are difficulties in moving (e.g., illness, disability).
- When you need discretion and privacy.
- If you live or work in an area where therapists are not available.
- If you prefer the comfort and time management offered by a distance approach.
What does the process involve?
Remote treatment follows the same standards as face-to-face sessions. The process begins with an initial session where an assessment is made and treatment goals are set. Sessions are then conducted through secure and private communication media, such as encrypted video calling platforms.
The therapist ensures the quality and effectiveness of the therapy by adapting the techniques to the individual’s needs, whether it is counselling or long-term psychotherapy.
