Why Choose Online Sessions?
Telehealth makes accessing therapy anywhere in Australia easier.
Kerryn uses Microsoft Teams as a platform for secure videoconference consultations. Videoconferencing is similar to face-to-face consultations but uses an internet connection to connect you with Kerryn. Videoconferencing can occur via a mobile phone, tablet, PC, or desk top as long as the device has a webcam and microphone. Headphones are encouraged to ensure confidentiality and privacy.
F2F or Online Therapy?
In a recent study, face to face and videoconferencing were compared for people receiving therapy for depression (Virtual versus Face‐to‐Face Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of Depression: Meta‐Analytic Test of a Noninferiority Hypothesis and Men’s Mental Health Inequities - Charron - 2022 - Depression Research and Treatment - Wiley Online Library).
17 RCTs indicated no difference between the two types of settings and actually found that depressed boys and men may, in fact, do better with videoconferencing.
