Info: We’ll cover how to set a clear frame for online therapy, from first contact and contracting through to confidentiality, ethics, and technical security. Attention will also be given to the therapist’s professional presence online, including boundaries, digital footprint, and insurance.

Info: This session explores what presence means in online therapy and how to cultivate connection when cues are limited. We’ll consider ways to strengthen attunement, containment, and immediacy across distance.

Info: We’ll focus on the embodied dimension of online work, noticing how our online presence shapes the relationship. Alongside this, we’ll explore how to support client safety in their own environment, manage interruptions, and prepare for risk or crisis.

Info: This session addresses common online challenges such as disinhibition, ruptures, and third-party interruptions. Through case vignettes, we’ll explore how to respond constructively and bring together the day’s learning into a safe, relational approach.
