About Online Therapy
Online therapy is professional mental health counselling delivered via a video calling platform. In this digital era, mental health care should be as simple, accessible, and personalised as every other service. At Leone Centre, we facilitate this through our professional online therapy services, delivered by highly experienced, UK-based therapists via Zoom.
How Online Therapy Helps
Online therapy sessions are highly effective in addressing a wide variety of issues, including:
- Mental and Emotional Health Support: Seeing a counsellor online provides a safe space to discuss your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a trained professional. Through therapeutic techniques, you learn to manage symptoms of mental and emotional health conditions. Your therapist can also guide you in developing healthier coping mechanisms and improving your overall mental well-being.
- Relationship Therapy: Online therapy is an excellent resource if you’re experiencing relationship problems. Whether you’re facing communication difficulties, recurring arguments, trust issues, or other relationship challenges, our trained therapists guide you towards improved mutual understanding and healthier interaction patterns. Attending psychotherapy online also allows for flexible scheduling, making it easier for two people to attend sessions, even if you’re in different locations.
- Improved Communication Skills: A significant part of mental health and relationship therapy involves improving communication skills. Your therapist provides tools and techniques to express your feelings and needs more effectively in your relationships and other areas of your life.
- Increased Self-Awareness: Online mental health counselling helps you gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, behaviours, and responses, which is crucial for personal growth and healthy relationships.
- Tools for Conflict Resolution: An online counsellor provides strategies and tools for conflict resolution, which you can apply to navigate disagreements in your personal and professional relationships more effectively.
- Privacy and Comfort: When discussing personal issues and relationship challenges, you may feel more comfortable in your own space, enabling you to open up more quickly and benefit more from the therapy process.
How Online Therapy Works
The Logistics
Online therapy simplifies accessing therapy and offers many benefits, including increased accessibility, convenience, comfort, and the capacity to connect with specialised therapists regardless of location.
As well as this, online counselling breaks down some of the barriers around traditionally delivered therapy, extending mental health support to people in remote areas or with mobility issues. It is also highly convenient for those with busy lives who can’t afford to lose the travel time to and from a counsellor. As well as increased flexibility with scheduling, Leone Centre online therapy sessions can be arranged outside typical office hours.
The Personal
Many people feel more comfortable sharing their experiences and feelings in their home’s familiar and secure environment. This can enhance the therapeutic process.
Like traditional in-person counselling, online therapy allows for real-time interaction with your counsellor, enabling you to communicate effectively, build a therapeutic relationship, and receive immediate feedback and support. This real-time communication facilitates dynamic conversation and can significantly enhance the quality and immediacy of the therapeutic process.
The Research
There are many studies examining the efficacy of online therapy. One research article, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders in 2013, discussed a randomised controlled trial comparing face-to-face therapy with online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). The study focused on patients with depression and found that both methods were equally effective. Notably, the benefits continued to be seen at a 3-month follow-up.
