Lena Fenton: Online Couples Therapy and Sex Therapy

Online Therapy

Is ideal for people who have small children or struggle with child care, where they can meet with the counsellor once the children are asleep. It can also work well for couples who are in a long-distance relationship, perhaps living in separate cities or even in different time zones; these meetings would be a three-way conference type call.

It could be ideal for those who do not live close to the right kind of counsellor, it is a very simple solution to go online and have therapy with a live video link to a specialist couples counsellor. She can support and assist the couple overcome their specific difficulties.

Additionally, it can also be very beneficial for people who are not able to leave home for any reason and is as effective as working in person with a counsellor.

The cost is the same as per in person counselling, the only difference is that it has to be prepaid. However, it has the advantage of being more flexible in terms of time availability.

Online therapy does require a good quality internet connection, and a private space where you will not be overheard or interrupted.

For online counselling I use Zoom.us, it provides a good level of privacy and security, it is simple and easy to install. Once the appointment has been booked and paid for, you will receive an email invitation with a link to the meeting. The whole process is simple and straight forward.
