Video Sessions

This requires you to have a webcam and microphone which can be purchased very cheaply from most online retailers. In most cases new laptops have a webcam and microphone built in. Alternatively you can use your tablet or smartphone. All appointments are completed securely on Microsoft Teams.

Your therapist will be using a top of the range 1080p Full High Definition webcam with stereo sound microphones. They will also be able to work through your problem on a digital 'whiteboard' and go through your issues e.g. 'vicious cycles' on screen with you.

You can be seen as frequently as is necessary, this will be decided collaboratively between you and your therapist. You can also switch to any other form of session mid-treatment if required e.g. continue treatment with face to face sessions if you have built your confidence through HD internet conferencing sessions.
