Is telehealth as effective as in-person therapy?
Both delivery methods are valid and effective options. A growing body of research indicates that psychological therapy delivered via telehealth can be as effective as traditional in-person therapy for many mental health concerns. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials show that outcomes are generally comparable between video-based teletherapy and face-to-face treatment, with similar reductions in symptoms and no significant differences in treatment engagement or dropout rates in many studies.
What you need for a session
Telehealth sessions take place by secure video. You will need a device with a camera and microphone, such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone, and a stable internet connection. A laptop or tablet tends to be more comfortable than a phone for a fifty-minute session, but any of them will work.
The most important ingredient is a private space where you will not be overheard or interrupted for the duration of the session. Some people find headphones helpful for privacy and sound quality. Before your first session you will receive a link by email; there is nothing to install, and I will walk you through anything unfamiliar in the first few minutes.
Privacy and confidentiality
Sessions are conducted through an encrypted, purpose-built telehealth platform, and the same standards of confidentiality apply as they would in a consulting room. Sessions are not recorded. Your clinical records are stored securely in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles and the professional obligations of a registered psychologist.
As with any psychological service, there are limited circumstances in which confidentiality may need to be set aside, for example where there is a serious and imminent risk to your safety or the safety of someone else, or where disclosure is required by law. These limits are explained in full before therapy begins, and you are welcome to ask about them at any time.
