Today's technology means anyone, anywhere, with access to a telephone or to the Internet through a webcam and Skype (free 'phone' calls) can benefit from professional counseling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and hypno-psychotherapy.
Whether you want:
- the comfort of knowing your therapist is miles away from where you live, or
- you do not have a therapy expert nearby who speaks your language, or
- you have no available time for in-office therapy, or
- you prefer not to travel, or
- you'd rather pay the low over-the-web fee, or
- you are home-bound or agoraphobic, this is the modern way to resolve what's troubling you.
You don't have to travel outside of your home. You can enjoy face-to-face therapy online with an experienced therapist at a lower cost than in-office sessions.
Is therapy through a computer as effective as being in-person, in-office ? While definitive research has not been done web-based therapists report that their Internet work is indeed just as effective as the "in the flesh" work they do in their offices.
Therapists offer several Internet options: email, IM, telephone, webcam or the increasingly popular Skype system for around-the-world instant communication.
The Skype process is simple:
1. You install a webcam (the best available). Actually many computers now come with a built-in webcam.
2. You download the free Skype service.
3. You leave a note on Skype (or by regular email) with the therapist of your choice.
4. You and the therapist make mutually satisfactory arrangements for therapy sessions over the Web.Please note that the OTWD is provided as a convenience for surfers seeking a psychotherapist or hypnotherapist.
