Some considerations
Having therapy sessions online from a room in your home is convenient but it does bring up things you don’t have to think about with in-person therapy. These are a few things you may wish to consider before your first session…
- Finding the right space - you may have limited options at home, but think about which space feels most comfortable for your therapy sessions.
- Privacy - do you need to ask people not to be around while you’re having a session?
- Camera and sound set up - for example, will you feel more comfortable using headphones for privacy/focus?
- Transition in and out of your session - with in-person sessions this happens on the way to and from the therapy room. Maybe you can create this process by walking round the block or making a cup of tea.
