Tele-therapy/Online counselling
What is Tele-therapy / Online Counselling?
Tele-therapy or online counselling allows for counselling services to take place remotely using telecommunications technologies, such as video conferencing or smartphone technology.
Tele-therapy, or online counselling, allows clients to access counselling services remotely using telecommunications technology such as video conferencing.
Leandie works with a secure platform called Bookem, which sends patients a link to access their online session once the appointment is confirmed. This ensures a safe, user-friendly, and confidential space for therapy..
Benefits of Online Counselling
One of the main advantages of tele-therapy is that it allows the therapist and patient to connect without being in the same physical location. This makes therapy more accessible for patients who live in remote areas, travel frequently, or reside outside of the country.
Online counselling is often seen as a more approachable and flexible option. It allows patients to engage in sessions from the comfort and privacy of their own home, without the need to travel or wait in busy reception areas.
For some, this less formal setting can reduce anxiety and make it easier to open up, helping to create a strong therapeutic connection over time.
