Online Therapy during Covid-19

Good evening all,

And so we adjust to a different way of life - for now.....

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.” ― Viktor E. Frankl

Many of you will have heard from me on Friday about this but i thought it was best to send notification out to all clients.  I took the decision on Friday to move sessions to online.  Under current circumstances, I feel we are individually and collectively responsible to reduce our exposure and risk of infection.  This way we reduce and slow down the spread of Covid-19 in order to best protect ourselves, our loved ones and vulnerable people among us. 

If my moving the sessions online means one or two more people are not infected, over time, exponentially, that makes a big difference and maybe even saves a life.  And so, we make a difference. 

I'll review this change on March 29.  

This will be a slight adjustment for clients who have not used online therapy before but studies show it can be just as effective as in person therapy.  In my own experience, I use it regularly with oversees clients and it works very well.

Inline with in person confidentiality, I affirm that I am working in a private environment and the internet connection is safe and secure. For your comfort in the session, likewise, it is your responsibility to choose a place where you feel free to talk in confidence on a device that is safe, secure and with which you are comfortable. 

I also confirm that whether in person or online, I am working under the same code of ethics and practice and with regular supervision.  I am also working in accordance with the guidelines and criteria for online therapy as issued by the IACP.

Please contact me as you need and we will set up an appointment.

Oh some funnies !! Because they're good for immunity!"

Suddenly working or studying from home? Drink water, get sunlight and you’re basically a house plant with more complicated emotions.

“This is your pilot speaking. I’m working from home today”.

And, may you and yours continue to be safe and well!

Warmest wishes,

Emilie
