Online Counselling: A Modern Day Approach to Mental Health Support
“In a world as fast-paced as ours, it’s easy to forget to pay attention to our mental health needs.”
We all know what it’s like to have a bad day that goes on for far too long.
You know how it is, you feel tired and emotional, relationships feel like effort and you definitely do not feel like going to work. But, all the things you have to do play over in your mind and so you push your thoughts and feelings to the side and get on with things.
The ups and downs are an inevitable part of life. And, as we ride the waves of our reality we do our best to take care of ourselves and attend to everyday demands.
Yet, in a world as fast-paced as ours, it’s easy to forget to pay attention to our mental health needs. It is easy to neglect our inner world that often calls for attention but is only answered when we feel like things are falling apart.
So often, the busyness of our lives distracts us from ourselves. Fitting in time to work on ourselves can be challenging in a world that already demands so much from us.
Fortunately, with the emergence of online therapy (just like Innerflo Therapy), it’s now easy to seek support for our emotional and mental well-being.
So let’s talk about what online counselling is and how it can help you.
What is Online Counselling?
Online counselling is a digital and modern solution for mental health support.
As opposed to a face to face session, you meet with licensed and qualified mental health professionals through digital platforms such as video calls, messaging, or phone calls.
Most importantly, online therapy provides flexibility, accessibility and convenience, allowing us to prioritize and fit in our mental health within our daily schedules.
Benefits of Online Counselling:
Whether you’re here with us in Melbourne or other parts of Australia, it is easy to access a plethora of mental health services with online therapy. Some ways in which it can make your life easier include:
1) Flexibility - Online counselling allows for more flexible scheduling. Clients with Innerflo Therapy are provided with their own portal where they can access and make changes to their stored information and the rescheduling or cancelling of appointments.
2) Accessibility - Online therapy eliminates geographical barriers as anyone with an internet connection can access support. Online therapy can also provide access to specialised therapists who may not be available in your local area. This is particularly important for those seeking specific mental health needs or culturally sensitive therapy.
3) Convenience - Clients can access therapy sessions from the comfort of their own homes, eliminating the need for travel or arranging childcare. This is particularly advantageous for those living in remote or rural areas or those with already full schedules who find it challenging to free up time for counselling.
4) Comfort - Online counselling can be conducted from the comfort of your home or office, eliminating the need to travel to an unfamiliar location or sit in a waiting room. This may help some individuals feel more at ease during therapy. Additionally, engaging in therapy in a location that is known and comforting to you may facilitate opening up and connecting with more ease during your session.
On a Final Note…
At Innerflo Therapy, we offer online therapy that is aimed at supporting your lifestyle and mental health needs. We understand life is busy and we want to make life that little bit easier for you.
Remember, mental health is an integral part of overall well-being, and we must prioritize it in our journey towards a healthy and fulfilling life.
With love,
Innerflo
