Telehealth, Online Psychology Sessions

TELEHEALTH, ONLINE SESSIONS WITH YOUR CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

Redman & Gall Psychologists are committed to bringing high quality Telehealth Psychology to everyone.

The introduction of telehealth items for psychologists improve support for people during the COVID-19 crisis.  At Redman Gall we have been offering telehealth options for clients living in regional and remote areas for some time.

The Australian Government have recognised the potential benefits that Telehealth Psychology sessions can provide in the support of mental health conditions for people in remote and regional locations in Australia as well as reducing risk during the COVID-19 crisis.

Changes in these items will allow our clients to continue to seek support when they might otherwise have discontinued.

What do Telehealth Psychology sessions involve?

At Redman Gall we conduct sessions using secure video conferencing technology. We have elected to use Amazon Chime as it provides a high standard of security for our clients sessions.  We will send you a contact link to your nominated email address in anticipation of the session and you will need to download amazon chime. To conduct the session all you will need is a device on which to run the Chime app and a private place to have your session.  With more people at home, many of our clients are being inventive with achieving this!

Research indicates that therapies provided through online means or via Telehealth Psychology can be just as effective as sessions conducted in person (face-to-face), for a range of mental health issues.

For our younger clients telehealth sessions will necessitate greater parental involvement. Leia will focus more on strategies that can be supported by parents at home.

How do I access Telehealth Psychology sessions?

Eligible clients will need to have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from their GP. Rural and remote clients will continue to be able to access psychologists in other locations.

You are welcome to call and speak with either Leia or Kelly or book through our online booking system. We look forward to assisting you throughTelehealth.
