ONLINE THERAPY
Online therapy, also known as e-therapy, e-counselling, telehealth, or cyber-counselling, involves providing mental health services and support over the internet. This can occur through email, text messaging, video conferencing, online chat, messaging, or internet phone.
The Flawed Journey offer their services online via phone call or zoom video call and we work closely with individuals around Australia, New Zealand, Asia, UK & Ireland.
Rest assured, our online services are delivered with the same standards and duty of care that you would expect if you visited our team via face to face.
