CBTReflections

Online CBT therapy using video conferencing such as Skype, Zoom and FaceTime allows people across the whole UK to access Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from CBT Reflections.

​

This can be particularly helpful if you are unable to attend sessions in person but speaking on the telephone feels too impersonal.

 

Does online CBT Therapy work?

There is good research evidence on the effectiveness of providing CBT using video conferencing, so the quality of your treatment will not be effected.

 

Video conferencing treatment sessions usually last 60 minutes but this can be adapted depending on your stage in therapy.

 

Benefits of video conferencing partly overlap with those of telephone sessions and include: 

• Not needing to travel to a clinic

• Being able to see a therapist experienced in treating your difficulties even if they do not live close to you

• Physical disability or long term health problem interfering with travel to the clinic

• Feeling more comfortable talking on Skype about sensitive difficulties

• Convenience of times offered

• The ability to continue having weekly sessions, even while travelling for business

• Starting with Skype sessions until they are able to trust the therapist enough to meet in person

• Having a follow up session after the end of a course of therapy

• Lower cost per session than face to face sessions.

 

Additional benefits include:

• Being able to see your therapist and them being able to see you, making communication easier

• Available if you are travelling for work or leisure, so you can continue to keep the pace of therapy

 

The format of video conferencing sessions would mirror face to face sessions, so you would still get the high quality service but in a more convenient way.
