We will be asked to self-isolate during the coronavirus pandemic, but this is having a devastating impact on our mental health. More and more people are seeking help for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and other problems. Some patients who thought they had successfully managed their psychiatric conditions for years are noticing how old demons are resurfacing. And people who generally enjoy good mental health are experiencing anxieties they have never faced before and are searching for solutions.

The problem is that to get help, one would have to leave the house and expose oneself to an increased risk of becoming ill.

Even if you're hesitant to leave your home, you can still receive help through online treatments. I can support you from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a stable internet connection.

Furthermore, online treatment offers the following advantages:

comfortSessions can be conveniently conducted from home using your computer – so there's no need to leave the house. This means you could even come to your treatment in super comfortable pajamas.

PrivacyOur society still stigmatizes people with mental health problems, which prevents far too many people from seeking the help they need. With telemedicine, you have complete privacy.

Time savingYou have no travel time, no shuttle service, and no need to find a parking space. During the appointment, ensure that you are undisturbed and in a room where no one can overhear and where you feel comfortable.

Key points for online treatment:

• During the appointment, make sure you are undisturbed and in a room where no one can overhear and where you feel comfortable.
• Ensure you have a stable internet connection. In case the connection drops, keep your phone handy. If that happens, I'll call you right away (if we both try to call, we'll each end up in the other's voicemail and won't be able to reach each other).
• Make sure you have enough tissues next to your computer.
• For laptops: is the battery charged or is power available?
