Online Therapy
Life can feel overwhelming. Some days, everything is manageable. On other days, stress, anxiety, or emotional struggles make even small tasks seem impossible. You do not have to face it alone. Online therapy allows you to access professional psychological support from the comfort of your own space on your schedule.
How Can Online Therapy Help You?
Emotions do not wait for the “right time”. When you are struggling, finding support should be simple and stress-free. Online therapy provides the same professional guidance as in-person sessions but with added flexibility. Whether you are dealing with a specific challenge or looking for a space to process your thoughts, online therapy can help you.
Our sessions can help you face and deal with:
- Managing stress, anxiety and mild depression
- Navigating relationship challenges with a clearer perspective
- Develop coping strategies for overwhelming emotions
- Work through grief, loss, or significant life transitions
- Gain clarity on workplace stress and burnout
- Improve self-esteem and burnout
- Understand and manage emotional triggers
Each session is tailored to your needs. This is your space to talk, explore, and heal at your own pace.
What Do You Need for an Online Therapy Session?
Getting started is simple. You just need a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable speaking openly. A stable internet connection for a seamless session. A device (laptop, tablet or smartphone) with a camera and microphone. You can also use headphones as they can improve audio quality and privacy.
Sessions occur via a secure, professional video platform to ensure confidentiality and ease of use. No complicated software is required–just a link to join at your scheduled time.
What Can You Expect in a Session?
Each session is conversational. It is a space for you to talk, reflect, and explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Whether it is your first time in therapy or you have had sessions before, the process is designed to feel natural and supportive.
A typical session includes:- Checking in
- Exploring thoughts and feelings
- Practical strategies
- Reflection and closure
Therapy is not about quick fixes. It is about understanding yourself deeper and developing the tools you need to move forward confidently.
What Are The Limits of Online Therapy?
Online therapy offers flexibility and eliminates the need for travel, but it is not suitable for everyone, particularly those with severe mental health conditions requiring inpatient or hospital care. A stable internet connection is also essential, and the cost of data can be a consideration. Additionally, confidentiality may be a concern if you do not have access to a private setting for your therapy sessions.
Some things to note before signing up for online therapy sessions:
- Technology: Unstable internet, platform glitches, or security risks may occasionally disrupt sessions. A secure, updated device with a reliable internet connection can help minimise issues.
- Crisis Situations: Online therapy may have limitations in an emergency. However, Gerrit Nel will establish clear emergency protocols to ensure your safety.
- Therapeutic Dynamics: Some non-verbal cues may be hard to pick up, and home distractions can impact focus during sessions.
