Online working can be a very convenient option in some circumstances. I use the Zoom platform and make sure I adhere to the safety recommendations and update security features regularly. Health problems or physical disability, agoraphobia or travel anxiety, physical distance problems (i.e. working in a remote part of the country) and caring responsibilities sometimes make attending appointments in the consulting room difficult. Remote working is not recommended for treating all psychological problems or for all types of therapy. Generally, it would be recommended that a relationship be built with at least one face to face assessment appointment before considering online support wherever possible.
