Could Remote Therapy Fit My Life?

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and navigating life changes - evidence indicates online therapy can be comparable to in-person sessions for many people.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the way that suits them best - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to access support from different locations.

Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and if the fit is not right it is possible to look for a different therapist. For many people, remote therapy offers a practical and effective route to receiving therapeutic support that aligns with their daily life.
