Telehealth vs. Traditional Therapy: What Are the Differences and Which Is Right for You?
We use both Zoom (video platform) and phone calls for our Telehealth appointments (based on your preference). For phone appointments, we will call you on the requested number at the time of your appointment. For Zoom appointments, we make this process easy for you, with a simple clickable link to the private and secure video appointment sent to you in your reminder email in the days leading up to your appointment.
How Does it Work? Our Video and Phone Appointments
While it may be natural to have some reservations about engaging in therapy via video or phone, research has shown that outcomes are equivalent to face-to-face therapy.
Plus, there are some great benefits to engaging in therapy in this way:
• Comfort and convenience: you can be more comfortable; make yourself a warm drink, put on your comfy clothes, and sit where you are most comfortable so that you can relax into this space and time just for you.
• Time and cost savings: no rushing in traffic to make your appointment on time, savings on costs of travel, and no reliance on transport or others to attend.
• Lower rates: the current APS rate for a clinical psychologist is $280 per 50-minute appointment (as seen here). Yet, through utilising telehealth and reducing commercial property costs, our rates remain well below this rate.
• Reduced risk of illness: Telehealth reduces the risks associated with coming into contact with others in a clinic space.
• After-hours and emergency appointments: these are more readily able to be facilitated.
• Access to care: telehealth increases access to care, especially for individuals who live in rural or remote areas, have mobility issues, or have difficulty leaving their home.
