Questions
What online therapy platforms do you use?
I primarily use Zoom for video sessions due to its security features, with encrypted email exchanges as an alternative. Sessions can be scheduled to accommodate international time zones.
Are your services covered by insurance?
While I don't process insurance claims directly, many private health insurers accept my services. Check with your provider for specific coverage details regarding online mental health support.
How do you ensure confidentiality online?
All communications use encrypted platforms. I maintain password-protected records and private workspaces. Clients are advised on secure practices including avoiding shared devices during sessions.
What therapy approaches do you use?
My core approach is Person-Centred Therapy, supplemented by Solution-Focused Brief Therapy techniques when appropriate for crisis situations or time-limited interventions.
Do you offer emergency support?
While I don't provide crisis services, I can help develop coping strategies during regular sessions. For emergencies, I recommend contacting local mental health services or helplines.
