Online Therapy
Meeting Your Therapist from Almost Anywhere in the World
Professional Support, Wherever You Are. At Sunflower Psychotherapy, we believe therapy should be accessible, supportive, and tailored to your life. That’s why we offer online therapy and virtual counselling. So you can connect with a qualified therapist from the comfort of your own space, whether that’s your living room, office, or a quiet corner of your day.
We’ve been offering remote therapy since day one, because we know how important it is to have the option to talk to someone; even when getting to a clinic isn’t possible.
What Is Online Therapy?
Online therapy, or virtual counselling, means meeting with a therapist by secure video or phone call. It’s similar to in-person therapy, but it happens wherever you are. You’ll still have the same level of care, confidentiality, and connection. Yet without the commute.
People come to online therapy for lots of reasons, including:
Feeling overwhelmed or anxious
Managing stress or low mood
Coping with big life changes
Working through relationship struggles
Healing from past experiences
Wanting to better understand themselves
Whatever’s going on for you, we’re here to support you with care and compassion.
Why People Choose Online Therapy
It’s Flexible and Easy to Fit In
Life can be busy, and sometimes getting to a therapy session in person just doesn’t work. With online therapy, you can schedule sessions around your routine. Whether you’re at home, on your lunch break, on holiday or away for work.
It’s Comfortable and Private
Many people find it easier to open up when they’re in a familiar setting. If you feel more relaxed in your own space, therapy can feel less intimidating and more personal.
It’s a Lifeline for Remote Areas
If you live in the countryside or somewhere with limited mental health services, online therapy makes support more accessible.
You Can Stay Consistent
Whether you’re travelling or simply having a hectic week, you don’t have to miss a session. Online therapy helps keep your progress on track.
Things to Keep in Mind
While online therapy works beautifully for many people, it’s not always the right fit for everyone. Here are a few things to consider:
We miss out on some of the non-verbal cues that come through in person, like body language and subtle gestures.
Technical issues (like spotty internet) can sometimes interrupt the flow of a session.
You’ll need a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable speaking openly.
If you’re in crisis or need more intensive support, in-person care may be more appropriate—and we can help guide you to the right resources.
At Sunflower Psychotherapy, we use a secure, confidential platform and always work with you to make sure you feel safe and supported.
Is Online Therapy Right for You?
If you’re looking for a space to feel heard, understood, and supported; online therapy might be just what you need. It’s a great option if you’re:
Feeling anxious, low, or emotionally stuck
Facing relationship or family challenges
Going through a big life change
Wanting to grow, heal, or simply understand yourself better
Needing flexibility in your schedule
And if you’re unsure, that’s okay too. We’re happy to chat and help you decide what feels right for you.
