Email Therapy

This mode of therapy is becoming increasingly popular for those that may not feel comfortable with face to face sessions yet or find the convenience of therapy

Email therapy, also known as online therapy or e-therapy, is a form of mental health counseling conducted via email exchanges between the therapist and client.

It offers a convenient and accessible option for individuals who may have difficulty attending in-person sessions due to scheduling conflicts, physical limitations, or geographic distance. It may be helpful if you also process things slowly or in bites of information or prefer nonverbal approaches.

In email therapy, clients have the opportunity to communicate through written messages, sharing thoughts, feelings, and concerns in a structured and confidential manner. Your messages will be responded to s within a specified timeframe, offering support, guidance, and therapeutic interventions tailored to your unique needs.

Email therapy can be effective for addressing a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and life transitions. It allows you to reflect on your experiences, process emotions, and work through challenges at your own pace, while receiving professional support and feedback from a qualified therapist and specific practices that you can do daily to support yourself.

It's important to note that email therapy may not be suitable for everyone, and it's essential to consider factors such as privacy, security, and the therapeutic relationship when choosing this format. You want to consider your level of comfort and with the level of confidentiality and communication provided and that you have a reliable internet connection and access to email.

Overall, email therapy can be a valuable option for you if you are seeking flexible and convenient mental health support, offering a safe and confidential space for self-exploration, healing, and growth.

I know now without a doubt that therapists and service providers deserve to be treated, paid and respected so much more than society, the current healthcare system and your own psyche may be willing to admit!
