Psychotherapy in the “coronavirus era”: Online psychotherapy sessions

13th March 2020:

In recent years, as internet use continues to expand into all areas of life, a significant proportion of my psychotherapy consultations are now carried out online – e.g. using Skype, Whatsapp video, Facebook messenger video calls.

Some people request online sessions as part of their work with me, for example, every second session, particularly if they live quite a distance from me, as many people attending me do.

With many other people, our sessions have been 100% online, for example, people living in a different country to me, or people who live so far from me within Ireland that traveling to me is a challenge in itself.

I have worked successfully with people I have never actually met, for example, people living in Australia, United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium and Canada.

So, in this time of restricted social interaction and restricted travel due to coronavirus, online psychotherapy sessions can be a very good approach.

If you would like to contact me in relation to this, you can contact me through the contact page on this website by clicking here or by ringing or texting me at 353 87 6592580.

About the Dr. Terry Lynch Mental Health Academy:

I have created the Dr. Terry Lynch Mental Health Academy so that I can share my understandings of and approach to emotional and mental health – including the psychiatric diagnoses – with a wider audience than the limited numbers of people I can work with face to face.
