Psychological Therapy, In-Person

Before the COVID pandemic, psychological therapy had predominantly been delivered in person, in a dedicated clinic space. Online therapy was somewhat of a novelty in many settings and services. Now, of course, it's the other way around, with the majority of therapy sessions being conducted remotely.

Whilst we know that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy in terms of treatment outcomes (e.g. Ebrahimjee, 2024), there are some advantages of working therapeutically in-person that you may want to consider.

Benefits of Working Face-to-Face

Many of us are working from home and have little social contact. Having an appointment in person can reduce isolation.
Some people don’t have a truly confidential space to safely engage in remote sessions.
Sometimes it’s difficult to step away from our devices and take a break. Having an in-person appointment can support people to go outside and do something different.
Having an appointment outside of your home can give you a different perspective; a new way of looking at things.
Some people find that being in-person allows the therapeutic relationship to develop a little quicker, allowing them to feel safe and ready for the work ahead.
Working face-to-face allows for more spontaneity in trying out new things and/or completing behavioural experiments together.
