Discover Fettle

Our ever-changing digital landscape has led to technology’s integral role in our lives.

With the growth of digital healthcare accelerated since the pandemic, attending GP check-ups via Zoom, ordering prescriptions online, and receiving counselling remotely is common.

Improvements in video calling and mobile connectivity make online therapy accessible, giving an alternative to traditional face-to-face talk therapies. Online therapy is highly effective for treating mental health conditions and holds many distinct advantages.

Online therapy is a flexible and accessible resource not limited to those in dire need.

Whether you’re seeking a safe space to discuss life’s concerns, in need of some coping techniques, or simply looking to chat with a trained professional about your worries, Fettle’s online therapy service is here to support you, whatever the issue.

So, why should you consider online therapy?

The Benefits of Online Therapy:

1. Privacy and Security

With online therapy, there’s no need to worry about bumping into anyone else in the waiting room or outside the therapy clinic.

Online sessions are conducted in a secure and confidential setting, minimising the risk of running into someone you know when you’re feeling vulnerable.

2.Convenient and Flexible

Online sessions eliminate the need for travel, saving you valuable time and money.

This convenience is particularly beneficial if factors such as your mental health, mobility, or location make it challenging to leave your home or if you reside in a remote area.

You can choose a session time that suits your unique schedule, including evenings and weekends.

3. The Comfort of Home

With online therapy, you receive support in a setting where you feel most comfortable.

Picture yourself in your cosy living room, sipping your favourite hot beverage, clad in comfortable attire, perhaps with your beloved pet by your side.

Being in a familiar environment can be therapeutic, making sharing your thoughts and feelings easier.

4. Highly Qualified Range of Therapists

With over 50 qualified and experienced therapists on our site offering a range of treatment options, Fettle provides access to a broader pool of qualified therapists.

You can select a therapist who aligns with your preferences, needs and cultural background.

This variety of options ensures you can find a therapist who is the right fit for you, improving your chances of forming a strong therapeutic alliance.

5. Cost-Effective

Online therapy is often more cost-effective than traditional in-person talk therapy.

It removes expenses associated with transportation, such as gas or public transit fares, and reduces the need for childcare or booking time off work.

Additionally, Fettle offers affordable subscription packages or lower session fees than in-person alternatives, making mental health support more financially accessible.

Are There Any Disadvantages to Online Therapy?

While online therapy boasts numerous advantages, it’s essential to acknowledge that it may not be the ideal solution for everyone.

How Effective is Online Therapy?

Extensive research demonstrates the effectiveness of online therapy.

A study from the Journal of Anxiety Disorders concluded that online cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) was as effective as face-to-face CBT.

Another study from the World Journal of Psychiatry found that online therapy holds parallel positive outcomes to in-person therapy.

Moreover, mental health assessments conducted online are found to be just as reliable as those undertaken during face-to-face sessions.

Online therapy is a valuable tool for mental health support, offering convenience, privacy, and access to highly qualified therapists.

Whether navigating life’s challenges or wanting to improve your self-awareness, Fettle is here to assist you, no matter where you are on your mental health journey.
