If you are considering online therapy you will want to be assured that you receive the same care and professionalism that you would expect from a qualified therapist who is working face-to-face with you. 

All of our members are expected to undergo training as counsellors or psychotherapists and to be members of a professional ethical body, which maintains standards in the profession.  They are also required to be qualified in online therapy. 

There are additional considerations for therapists working online, such as: 

• Having knowledge of data protection requirements and how to protect client data 
• Ensuring that the platform being used is encrypted, and therefore safe 
• Understanding the differences between working in a room together and working online 
• Making alternative arrangements for therapy should there be connection issues
