Certificate in Online Therapy

The world expects services to be available online and demand for online therapy is continuing to grow. As therapists we naturally want to ensure that we are able to connect with clients in the most effective and ethical way possible.

This online self-study course helps you to navigate the digital therapy environment, ensure that you are able to offer the same great service online as you do in your face-to-face sessions and continue to develop the therapeutic relationship in that context.
