Due to the unique specialist nature of our centre we have people travelling from all over the world to access our services. We also have people from all over Australia and regional NSW. Even within Sydney it can take our patients over an hour to reach us. Whilst obviously children under the age of 12 years need to been seen face-to-face for therapy, often children 12+ and adults can have therapy consultations online via video conference.
Many of our patients just can't get away from work, or stay-at-home mothers like to have a session whilst the baby is sleeping. Many of our patients find that without our Skype services they wouldn't be able to access our services frequently. In addition our online therapy allows for people to have total privacy as many people feel uncomfortable even trying a psychologist in case they are "caught out".
We find that there are certain advantages to having online sessions:
People are able to open up more quickly about their issues as it is less confrontational
Our online notes allow our patients to be able to have a written documentation of all things discussed in the session which is valuable in helping them implement the discussed strategies
Sessions are usually much more efficient as there is no running late due to traffic or issues finding parking
No embarrassing bumping into people you know in the waiting room. Privacy is reassured!!
Access top specialists in more isolated regions of Australia- and save the costs of travel.
