Telehealth Psychology
Telehealth psychology is psychological therapy done online. It is sometimes referred to as online therapy, online sessions, internet therapy, e-therapy, distance therapy or online counselling. Telehealth sessions use various tools to maintain patient confidentiality and to remotely consult with a psychologist in real time. Sessions with a psychologist can be conveniently done in your office or in the comforts of your home with this new advancement. According to studies, telehealth therapies are still as effective even though they break away from face to face consultations which is usually the norm.
Advantages of Telehealth Psychology
- Convenient, especially to working individuals and is time efficient.
- You can access psychological services in the comforts of your home or directly from your office, wherever you are in Australia
- A telehealth session is a more comfortable option especially for people who are uncomfortable with face to face therapy.
- Talking and explaining in person can be hard for some which is why online therapy may be ideal for them.
Risks and Limitations of Telehealth Psychology
Verbal and on-verbal cues will be harder to detect in online psychology sessions. Thus, our online psychologists suggest that clients should openly and specifically discuss their concerns with them to ensure that there will be no misunderstanding.
Technical difficulties such as internet disruption or computer glitches are also one of the limitations of telehealth therapies.
Our psychologist guarantees that security and confidentiality is upheld at the course of your therapy sessions. However, there are unavoidable circumstances such as computer viruses or hacking that could possibly expose your data. These are rare instances and our psychologist is putting in the effort to make sure that this does not happen. Face to face confidentiality principles are also applied in telehealth sessions especially on the sharing of information and notes. These principles can be accessed in the APS ethical guidelines on confidentiality. You can also access Rising People Psychology’s Terms and Conditions here.
Application of the Scientist-Practitioner Model in Telehealth Psychology
The scientist-practitioner model equips psychologists with skills to read and understand complicated research studies and apply them in real life. This model is followed by our psychologists here at Rising People Psychology. As a result, it allows them to easily understand how these research findings are applicable to our clients. Furthermore, they are trained on how to convey these research studies to regular individuals even in their online sessions.
Moreover, our founder, Najlah Ghalbouni is an experienced psychologist who has treated a lot of people in the course of her profession. Consequently, her experiences allowed her to provide information to clients of what may be applicable to them and their specific situations. It helped her clients in understanding what they are going through and identify what treatments could work for their case. Undoubtedly, her numerous experiences, paired with her skills and training, allowed her to adjust to the new normal by providing quality healthcare service through online psychology.
