Comfortable and Familiar Setting

1. Therapy online is an inclusive approach to therapy for speech pathology,  occupational therapy, and psychology. There is growing evidence that  online delivery of therapy may be as beneficial as face to face. Clients love to be in a comfortable and familiar setting. Online therapy can be set up to use any device that has an internet connection, such as a  computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Increased Privacy

2. A major advantage in using online therapy is the sense of privacy it produces for clients. Individuals all over are more interested in attending therapy when it is set up from the comfort of their own home. Online therapists know it to be remarkable to see more people willing to find an online therapist and feel comfortable with these sessions.

No Commuting so less Stress

3. Parents and carers would know how difficult it can be to get their child or themselves organised to go through the preparations to leave the house. Most people do not like wasting their time sitting in blocked traffic either.



More Flexibility

4. It is amazing how the online counselling services can offer a high level of flexibility. An increased capacity to choose from a wider variety of dates and times is delivered with tele-therapy. Also, the participant can join a Zoom meeting anywhere there is an internet connection and privacy. Many people use their mobile phones and service data.



More Accessible

5. It is truly unfortunate when someone is unable to visit a therapist due to a flat tyre or when their driver/support worker is unable to transport them to the therapist’s office.

To be able to meet with a mental health professional through the internet is very impressive for those who cannot find transport to a session. And many participants live in remote areas and, therefore, may have to stay overnight in the nearest town.

Greater Variety is Available

6. Occasionally, a client and a therapist may not pair together well, but with online therapy, that can be sorted quickly. With the increased operation and convenience of tele-therapy, clients now have a more expansive pool of therapists to select from, which enables them to find their perfect match. Thanks to the internet, the days are long gone of not making progress in therapy due to an unsuitable relationship.

Thankfully, therapy is more widely accepted and accessible now, and any embarrassment surrounding the topic has finally faded.  Furthermore, as we navigate these unequalled times, people may need mental health counselling now more than ever before.

However, any way that we look at it, online counselling certainly has several credible benefits that should not be overlooked.

Online therapy can address mental health conditions including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and anxiety.

Of course, it is understandable that some individuals may prefer in-person therapy sessions rather than online ones. 

If that is your preference, we at Disability Pathway Solutions may be able to assist you in setting up your future bookings with a face-to-face session.
