If we look at the current world, technology is almost indispensable. We manage our affairs with the help of internet banking. We order our food via an app. We can monitor our steps with our telephone. All in all, technology has given our life a new dimension. Now we can also get effective coaching and therapy online!
The online relationship
One of the most important factors for successful treatment is the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. A good connection with your therapist gives a safe and familiar feeling. With a good therapeutic relationship there is a better understanding between the client and therapist, leading to clear goals and tasks
Research has shown that it is also possible to build a good therapeutic relationship online, and sometimes is even better than with therapy in the doctor’s office. I also have experienced this in my daily sessions with my clients online. A good therapeutic relationship is also possible during online treatment, such as NiceDay.
What are the benefits of online therapy?
- You are in control
With NiceDay you are directly involved in your own therapeutic process: by writing in your journal about how you feel, what happened or what went well, you gain more insight into your own process. You can also take matters into your own hands and send a chat message to your practitioner when needed.
- Flexibility
With online therapy you are not location dependent. This means that sessions can take place in the comfort and familiarity of your own home. Or even in the evening, in accordance with your practitioner. This also means you can often get direct help in the moments you are struggling, or just before or after a difficult conversation with that one person.
- Accessible and fast
Thanks to the online approach of NiceDay you can look for help in an accessible way and have quick and easy contact with your practitioner. You are always just a click away from help!
- Your practitioner focuses more on your individual needs
With NiceDay it is possible to register feelings, thoughts and actions in the app. Instead of “how was your week?” your practitioner will have a better overview of how you are doing. The practitioner gets a good picture of your good and bad moments and can respond immediately. With a chat message between sessions you stay in contact with each other and your practitioner is more beside you than in front of you.
