I offer online therapy EMDR, online therapy CBT and online therapy CFT across the UK.

When people ask me about online therapy vs in person therapy, I often explain that what matters most is feeling safe, understood and able to engage. I offer secure videocall therapy for adults throughout the UK, including online EMDR therapy UK, online CBT therapy UK and online CFT therapy UK.
Online meetings can feel more manageable for many people. It’s comfortable and less overwhelming. You do not need to travel, sit in a waiting room or fit therapy around a long journey. Instead, you can access support from a space that already feels familiar to you.
Is online therapy effective?
Yes, online therapy can be effective when it is delivered by a suitably trained therapist and when it feels appropriate for the person. I work collaboratively, at your pace, using evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy.
NICE recognises trauma-focused psychological therapies, including EMDR for PTSD, and the EMDR Association UK explains that EMDR is used to help people recover from distressing experiences. You can read more through NICE PTSD guidance.
How EMDR, CBT and CFT work online
With online trauma therapy UK, I help you prepare carefully before any trauma processing begins. EMDR can support the reprocessing of stuck memories. CBT can help you understand patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep you stuck. CFT can help with shame, self-criticism and developing a more compassionate way of relating to yourself.
If you are comparing EMDR vs CBT online, it may be helpful to know that they can also be integrated. We can discuss what feels most appropriate for your needs, rather than forcing one approach to fit everyone.
For CBT information, the BABCP explains that CBT is a collaborative therapy that works with connected patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviour and physical responses. You can read more on the BABCP CBT page.
