There are some situations where online/telephone working may not be advised, particularly where your safety may be at high risk.
These include things like imminent suicidal intent, serious mental health issues or severe domestic violence situations. In an assessment session I may advise you to see your GP or access face-to-face support, in your geographical area, where your safety can be more fully assessed. |
Benefits of remote working:
• Place and time to suit you, with no travel time • Flexibility to choose the technology suitable to you • Can be more private, not being seen coming to my therapy room • Can be easier to talk, being relaxed in your own home • More accessible for those who cannot travel |
|
Challenges of remote working:
• Internet connection problems – connection loss or time delay • Finding a private space where you are not overheard • Can be hard not to see each other fully • Consider how you feel about me seeing into your home (video) • No space/transition time from therapy to home; being left in your home post session |
