How does online therapy work?
For online therapy, a stable internet connection and a location that provides sufficient privacy that is free from distractions or intrusions is important. Therapy is conducted over Zoom with a link sent out before the session. Apart from the technological requirements, there is no difference in the way a session is conducted online or in person.
Is online therapy right for me?
Online therapy has become a welcome option for several reasons. It eliminates geographical barriers, making it ideal for those in rural or regional areas or with physical mobility limitations. Sessions can be attended from home, saving time and money on commuting and childcare.
Attending therapy from a private space can feel less intimidating than being seen entering a physical office. Clients may also find it easier to open up and be vulnerable when in a familiar, safe environment. Recent research shows similar effectiveness in treatment between online and in-person therapy; and that the therapeutic relationship formed online is not significantly different from that formed in person.
However, online therapy is not recommended if you have acute psychosis, high suicide risk or severe mental health challenges. Some research shows that in these circumstances, individuals may have better results from in-person care.
Is NARM the right approach for me?
​NARM is often the missing piece for individuals who have tried various therapies but still feel a persistent sense of disconnection or unworthiness. NARM is ideal if you have cognitive insight but remain stuck in old patterns.
Unlike therapies focused on addressing traumatic events or symptom management, NARM targets patterns developed long ago that served as protection and long-term survival styles like people-pleasing or self-judgment.
It’s right for you if you seek agency and aliveness, using a gentle, present-moment approach that views you as the expert on your own experience and connects you with your mind and body.
