Why Choose CBT Therapy?

Effective psychological treatment for anxiety, stess and depression: CBT has been shown to be highly effective for Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, panic attacks and Panic Disorder, OCD, PTSD, stress and depression, amongst others.
Structured, personalized approach: The therapy is goal-oriented, focuses on the present, and typically involves a set number of sessions. Our therapists will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns.

What are the benefits of online Cognitive Behaviour Therapy vs. face to face therapy sessions for anxiety?
Online therapy and in-person sessions both offer effective mental health support, but they have some differences. Here’s a comparison based on recent findings:
Effectiveness
Equivalence in Outcomes: Research indicates that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for various mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression. Studies have shown that patients undergoing online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) experienced significant improvements, comparable to those receiving face-to-face treatment.
Higher Attendance Rates: Online therapy often results in higher attendance rates and completion rates compared to in-person sessions. This is attributed to the convenience of accessing therapy from home, which reduces barriers such as travel time and scheduling conflicts.
Accessibility and Convenience
Geographical Flexibility: Online therapy removes geographical barriers, making it accessible to individuals in remote areas or those with mobility issues. This is particularly beneficial for patients who might otherwise face challenges attending in-person sessions.
Reduced Stigma: Many individuals feel more comfortable seeking help through online platforms, as it can reduce the stigma associated with visiting a therapist’s office. This increased comfort level may encourage more people to pursue therapy.
Practical Considerations
Cost-Effectiveness: Online therapy can be more economical since it eliminates costs related to transportation and time off work. Patients can also find more immediate appointments, leading to quicker access to care.
Therapist Flexibility: Online sessions allow for greater scheduling flexibility, making it possible for us to offer evening as well as daytime appointments.
Personal Preference and Therapeutic Relationship
Comfort with Technology: The effectiveness of online therapy can depend on a patient’s comfort level with technology. Some may prefer the personal connection of in-person interactions, which allow for nonverbal cues and a tangible therapeutic environment.
Therapeutic Modalities: treating anxiety using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy online can have the benefit of allowing you to work with your therapist in environments which may be associated with the anxiety, such as home environments in OCD, or areas where you may feel panicky. This can improve therapist-assisted exposure, and help you to face your fears in the environments where they usually occur, which would not be possible within the confines of a therapy room.
Conclusion
Both online and in-person therapy have their advantages and can be effective depending on individual needs and circumstances. The choice between the two should consider personal preferences, specific mental health conditions, and logistical factors. Our view and experience is that the advantages of online CBT sessions are highly significant.
