Who telehealth sessions are for
People choose telehealth psychology for many reasons, including:

How online psychology sessions work
Video sessions (telehealth)
Sessions are typically conducted via video appointment. You will receive a link before your session, and you can join from your computer or phone in a private space.
Phone sessions
Phone sessions may be used where video is not possible or not clinically suitable for the situation.
Payment
Payment is typically completed after the session via bank transfer. We will send an invoice with the details needed to make payment.
Preparing for a telehealth appointment (simple tips)
To get the most out of online therapy, it can help to:
- choose a private, quiet space where you won’t be interrupted
- use headphones if possible (privacy and clearer audio)
- check your internet connection before the appointment
- have a notepad handy if you want to write down goals or key points
