Remote appointments

 
 

What are Remote Appointments?

Remote appointments are secure, confidential therapy or psychiatry sessions held online or by phone. They allow you to access care from the comfort of your own space — whether at home, at work, or on the go — without needing to travel or take extra time out of your day.

 

Who are Remote Appointments for?

Remote appointments are suitable for anyone who prefers or needs flexible, location-independent care. They’re especially helpful for:

  • People with busy schedules or limited travel time

  • Carers, parents, and shift workers

  • Those living outside major cities or in rural areas

  • Clients managing fatigue, chronic illness, or mobility needs

  • Neurodivergent clients who benefit from familiar environments

  • People experiencing anxiety, social avoidance, or trauma

  • Those seeking continuity of care while travelling or relocating

Remote care works well for therapy, psychiatric reviews, medication management, and initial consultations. Some clients choose remote as a long-term option; others combine it with in-person support.

 

What do Remote Appointments involve?

  • Secure video or phone sessions (typically 50–60 minutes)

  • Delivered via encrypted, easy-to-use platforms (e.g. Zoom, Doxy, Google Meet)

  • No downloads or technical setup required — just a stable internet or phone line

  • One-to-one therapy, psychiatry, coaching, or assessment options

  • Consistent scheduling with the same clinician

  • Option to use chat functions or turn off video if preferred

  • Option to include carers or support persons (with your consent)

  • Flexible appointments, including evenings or early mornings

  • Available across the UK and internationally (within licensing guidelines)

  • Access to follow-up notes, prescriptions, or resources via email or portal

  • Tech support available if needed

  • Trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming adaptations available

  • Easily combined with in-person care
