Online Psychology Sessions

Online psychology appointments, from the comfort of your own home, work in the same way as face-to-face appointments except that the conversation occurs using a secure video conferencing platform (or over the phone, if preferred). The research suggests online sessions are just as effective as face-to-face sessions for various client groups and client issues (Backhaus et al., 2012). Telehealth sessions can help you to access the support you need if getting to the clinic is inconvenient for you, if you have a busy schedule, if you travel a lot or if you live in remote/regional Australia.
