Face-to-face therapy is a traditional form of psychotherapy where you meet with me in person in a professional setting, allowing for direct interaction and communication to address your mental health concerns.
Face-to-Face sessions are held at my office in Barrhead, Glasgow G78, or in Clarkston, Glasgow G76.
Some of the benefits of face-to-face therapy are:
Face-to-face therapy sessions provide instant feedback from your therapist, helping you process emotions and thoughts more effectively.
Face-to-face therapy allows a genuine and personal connection between you and me. This in-person interaction allows for a deeper level of trust and rapport to develop, which is essential for the therapeutic process.
Body language, facial expressions, and other non-verbal cues play a crucial role in communication and understanding, which can be more effectively interpreted in person.
Attending therapy in a dedicated space can create a sense of routine and commitment, which can be beneficial for your mental health journey.
One of the drawbacks of face-to-face therapy is that you may feel uncomfortable or intimidated in a face-to-face setting, which can hinder your openness and progress. Also, attending in-person sessions requires time and effort for travel, which can be a drawback for those with tight schedules or mobility issues. If you have any concerns of this nature, you also have the option of online sessions.
Online therapy is a modern form of psychotherapy where you engage in sessions remotely, using digital platforms to address your mental health concerns. Some of the benefits of online therapy are:
Online therapy allows you to receive support from the comfort of your home or any location with an internet connection. This eliminates travel time and makes it easier to fit therapy into your busy schedule.
With online therapy, scheduling is more flexible. You can arrange sessions at times that are most convenient for you, making it easier to maintain regular appointments even with a hectic lifestyle.
Engaging in therapy from a familiar environment can make you feel more relaxed and open during sessions. This can enhance your willingness to share and discuss personal issues.
Online therapy ensures that you can continue with your therapy sessions even if circumstances change, such as moving to a new location or travelling. This continuity helps maintain progress and provides ongoing support without interruption.
One of the drawbacks of online therapy is the potential for technical issues, such as internet connectivity problems, which can disrupt sessions. While I will do my best to help you resolve any difficulties you may have with technology, there is a chance that we may not be able to help you.
Additionally, the absence of in-person interaction may limit the ability to read non-verbal cues, which are essential for fully understanding emotions and reactions. You may also have concerns about finding a private place for our online sessions and worry about others hearing you talk.
I you are concerned about any of these drawbacks, you have the option of face-to-face sessions.
