Professional Online Psychology and Telehealth Support Across Australia
Accessing psychological support should be convenient and comfortable, and we understand that everyone has different needs and circumstances. At Rising People Psychology, we offer professional and confidential online psychology services to clients across Australia.
Our online psychology appointments allow you to speak with a psychologist from the comfort of your own home or another private and suitable location. Online sessions can be a convenient option if you live outside our face-to-face service areas, have a busy schedule, prefer the comfort of attending from home, or find it difficult to travel to appointments.
Our psychologists provide personalised and evidence-based support, taking the time to understand your individual needs, concerns and goals.
If you’re looking for an online psychologist in Australia, get in touch with Rising People Psychology to discuss your needs and find out if online psychology is the right option for you.
What Is Online Psychology?
Online psychology, sometimes referred to as telehealth psychology or online therapy, allows you to meet with a psychologist through a secure video appointment instead of attending a clinic in person.
It gives you the flexibility to access psychological support from home or another private location without needing to travel to an appointment. During your sessions, your psychologist will take the time to understand what you’re going through, discuss your concerns, and work with you on practical strategies that support your wellbeing and personal goals.
Online psychology can be suitable for many of the same concerns that are supported through face-to-face appointments. Your psychologist will consider your individual circumstances and discuss whether online sessions are a suitable option for you.
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.
