Telephone and Online Therapy for OCD, Anxiety, Depression and More
|
I have delivered remote based psychotherapy since 2012 and the treatment medium has proven effective in treating numerous mental health difficulties ranging from depression, anxiety, stress, Asperger's, OCD, perfectionism and low self-esteem.
A Brief Overview: Remote based psychotherapy such as online therapy or hone based CBT, started out in the 1970s through phone based interventions pioneered by researchers as University College London. Research has since consistently shown that remote based interventions are as effective as face to face psychotherapy. Telephone Counselling vs In-PersonOnline therapy can have the added benefit that people aren't inhibited by the challenges of face to face communication. Socially anxious people may find it easier to open up over the telephone as the perceived threat of having another person in-front of them is not there.

Why do Online / Phone Sessions?
There can be many reasons as to why someone may choose to engage in remote based CBT. Some that make use of remote therapy are based outside of the United Kingdom and therefore appreciate the practically of online sessions.
Some clients with OCD prefer remote therapy because they aren't sure if their intrusive thoughts represent who they really are or generally indicate something negative or vile about themselves. Thus it can be very difficult to open up about with during in-person sessions.
A depressed client who is very inhibited may also find it easier to open up about their difficulties when not sitting in-front of someone.
My style of psychotherapy has proven to provide effective results in a relatively short amount of time. I will however not rush things if you require more in-depth treatment. A focus will always be on understanding difficulties with the subsequent aim at assessing which methods will most likely provide the most benefit.
Helpful changes can impact your life greatly and your rate of improvement will often determine the course and nature of our interventions. We tailor and adjust our understanding of your difficulties until you engage in optimally tailored interventions.
I accommodate such circumstances and payment can be done through cryptocurrencies, PayPal or by Bank Transfer. I offer a free consultation for those wondering whether telephone counselling or online pursued psychotherapy is for them.

How effective is remote based therapy?
There has been extensive research on the effectiveness of remote and online based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The most common conditions assessed in these studies relate to anxiety, depression in addition to OCD. Telephone therapy is as effective as in person therapy. As long you make an effort during the sessions, the likelihood that things will improve greatly increases.
What is the cost?
Individual sessions both over zoom and the phone cost 95 GBP per hour and initially sessions are conducted regularly, then less regularly as things improve until they are done on a when and as needed basis.
Sessions often play out the same way as in-person sessions, with the added benefit that some clients find it easier to talk remotely. Sessions are pursued as regularly as they are in-person. Especially during the beginning of therapy, it is important to attend sessions continously. You can get in touch if you have further questions about how sessions are done or if you want to book a CBT session.

Does online psychotherapy work differently to phone therapy?
The sessions often flow differently when conducted over the phone compared to zoom. The benefit of zoom or online based sessions is that the physical presence of someone is emulated which many can find more beneficial. The downside is that this can be a distraction for some obsessive or socially anxious clients, as they then often overly check their own appearance.
The most important part is to do the exercises in between sessions in order to reinforce more beneficial ways of being.
