Currently considering setting up online group therapy. Having been both a client of group therapy and having delivered group therapy face to face before the pandemic I can attest to the benefits from a personal and facilitive perspective. I'm just debating whether online is as beneficial as face to face.

After quite a few weeks away from the office I'm now very much looking forward to opening my door again to old and new clients.
Time away from therapy can feel quite daunting for clients however being able to work through times of absence is testimont to progress made.
It is always a deeply felt honour to be entrusted with and to be able hold clients through some very dark times.
It is also very much a privilege to see them stand tall and leave the room for the last time.
Clients are the best people to judge when to seek therapy for themselves and equally they hold the power for when it's the right time to end their therapy journey.
Clients know when they are ready to take on life with their new found energy and fighting gusto.
Accessing therapy is such a courages act because we never know what to expect.
You have the power, You hold the key.
