How to Access Therapy Online: A Guide for Global Clients
You can access highly effective therapy online for anxiety or trauma, no matter where in the world you are. Still Mind Therapies offers online sessions via Zoom to clients across the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, and internationally, delivering the same results as in-person therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
Is Online Therapy as Effective as In-Person?
This is the question most people ask first and the answer is yes. A growing body of research confirms that online therapy produces equivalent outcomes to face-to-face sessions across a wide range of presentations including anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and phobias. The therapeutic relationship, which is central to effective therapy, translates powerfully to video sessions. Many clients actually find it easier to open up from their own environment.
Research published in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders (Norwood et al., 2018) found internet-delivered therapy to be equally effective as face-to-face delivery for anxiety conditions, supporting the growing global shift toward online therapeutic services.
How Do Online Sessions Work?
Sessions take place via Zoom, a secure and easy-to-use video platform. You'll need a stable internet connection, a private space where you won't be interrupted, and a device with a camera and microphone — most laptops, tablets, and smartphones work perfectly. Sessions last 90 minutes and follow exactly the same format as in-person appointments.
