Couple therapy sessions with Skype or FaceTime
There is significant daily variation in the quality of even the best equipped internet connections at both ends. Skype is not the most reliable platform. Given these limitations, here are some suggestions that will enable me to give you my best.
If we have already had a couple of face to face sessions, follow up sessions with skype do not require all of the following.
Audio visual: I want to be able to see you sitting together on a sofa or in two chairs with a camera that will show me the expression in your eyes, mouth and hands, and audio that will register changes in voice tone as your emotions rise and fall.
I want to hear one word ice-breakers and see the simultaneous response in the other's body.
Around 7% of communication is content, 38% is tone, and a 55% is body language! Non-verbal cues tell us what might be in the other's mind.
I will want you to complete my intake questionnaire before our first session. Then after the first session a feedback questionnaire, then after each following session a brief questionnaire. These will help ensure I am on track with both of you most of the time. I am happy to respond to brief follow up emails as best I can during the process.
Security and thus confidentiality is an issue with teleconferencing. Skype has a number of privacy settings and encrypts the data if you have a paid account.
I will invoice you $200 for the session using PayPal or you can transfer over the internet to my BSB.
