HOW TO BEGIN ONLINE THERAPY

 

A step-by-step guide

1. Choose which format of online/telephone therapy you would like to try (video conferencing, instant messaging, email, telephone).

2. Schedule your initial free therapy consultation by contacting Dr Kristine Abercrombie by email info@letstalkonline-psychology.com or 07896150292.

Once you have booked your initial appointment, you are automatically agreeing to Let's Talk Online Psychology Services terms and conditions.

Please note: although email therapy obviously does not have to happen at a certain time, We will still schedule a particular session time for email therapy. I will use this time to read your email, reflect and write a reply. It is therefore important that you send in your email prior to our arranged time.

4. Depending on what format of therapy you have chosen you will be sent instructions on how to set up Zoom, Protonmail or Whatsapp. Clients usually find this process relatively straightforward. However, if you have any difficulties contact me for any technical support required. 

5. In order to make your experience as effective as possible you are asked to fill in an online  therapy assessment form prior to the beginning of treatment. You will be emailed a link to this form or alternatively, you can click the above link. You will note that basic information such as your name, address, date of birth, etc is required, in addition to some questions aimed at determining your suitability for online therapy. With regards to the remaining questions it is up to you how much detail you provide. Clients tend to find the process most helpful if they fill in as much as they feel comfortable.

Confidentiality is paramount, and you can be assured that the form is secure and encrypted, ensuring all of your personal information is kept private and secure. 

6. And there you go. You are ready to begin. Please do give me a call on (07896) 150292 or email info@letstalkonline-psychology.com if you have any questions. I am happy to help. It is my goal to make this process as smooth as possible.
