COVID-19 & ONLINE SESSIONS
The proliferation of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) is drastically changing our lives in various ways for the foreseeable future.
In order to avoid the spreading of the virus, I am following the UK government advice which states to travel only for essential reasons and to work from home when possible.
Therefore, I am currently only offering online therapeutic and supervision sessions, and telephone consultation.
ONLINE SESSIONS (PSYCHOTHERAPY or CLINICAL SUPERVISION)
Having online sessions is not the same as doing face-to-face ones, however they are also proven to be effective. I have a private room in my house where I can safely connect. It is important that also the person on the other side of the video call is in a private environment in which they can safely speak and express their emotions. My favourite application is Zoom as it conforms to the GDPR/Data Protection Act, it is easy to use and it does not require the creation of an account.
ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP
If you live away from home and would like some support in facing the current challenging situation, you may consider joining the online support group I am starting to run as soon as I receive enough requests. As this global emergency requires us to avoid social contact, I believe that an online group setting can provide a good enough alternative to be together, receive and exchange support, and feel connected.
If you are interested and would like further information, please get in touch using the contact page.
TELEPHONE CONSULTATION
I have always been available for a telephone consultation when it is not possible to communicate by other means. Although online video calls are preferable, telephone consultations can be a way of offering support between sessions when the regularity of the sessions is compromised.
