Individual online psychotherapy
Individual online psychotherapy involves professional psychological support provided by a qualified psychotherapist in a virtual setting. During these sessions, the therapist and the client communicate via apps that enable both voice and video connection, allowing for eye contact and a more natural, in-person experience, akin to a traditional consultation in the therapy room.

-

Psychological consultation — the first step in your therapy journey
Before starting regular psychotherapy, we invite you to a psychological consultation. This initial meeting plays a crucial role in the entire therapeutic process:
What is the purpose of a psychological consultation?
Getting to know each other — this is a time for you to meet the therapist, learn about their approach, and see if you feel comfortable with them. At the same time, the therapist gets a chance to better understand your situation.
Identifying difficulties — during the consultation, the specialist will help you recognise and name the challenges you’re facing. Sometimes, simply putting these issues into words brings relief and a fresh perspective.
Assessing your needs — together, you’ll determine the type of support that’s right for you, whether it’s short-term intervention, long-term psychotherapy, or another form of assistance.
Setting a plan of action — the therapist will propose a therapy plan tailored to your individual needs, including the frequency of sessions, the expected duration of therapy, and the goals to be achieved.
Answering your questions — this is a great opportunity to ask any questions you have about the therapy, how it works, the methods used, and the expected outcomes.
No obligations — the consultation doesn’t commit you to continuing therapy with that particular specialist. If you feel you need a different approach or therapist, we’ll help you find someone better suited to your needs.
A psychological consultation at Wszędzie Ważne typically lasts 50 minutes and takes place online via Google Meet, in a safe and confidential environment. After the session, you’ll receive recommendations for the next steps and have time to make an informed decision about starting therapy.
What are online psychotherapy sessions like?
An online session is designed to provide you with maximum comfort and effectiveness, while maintaining all the key elements of traditional therapy.
The first session
Welcome and connection check — the session begins with a technical check to ensure a smooth connection. You can be in any place that makes you feel safe and comfortable.
Getting to know each other — the therapist will introduce themselves and invite you to share your story. They’ll ask what brought you to seek support and what you hope to achieve through therapy. This focused attention on you is one of the key benefits of individual therapy.
Gathering background information — the therapist will then ask about your life and medical history, including:
-
Your lifestyle and daily functioning
-
Relationships and connections
-
Significant past events
-
Health history
-
Current symptoms and difficulties
All this information helps the psychologist understand your unique situation and tailor the therapeutic approach to your needs.
Space for questions — throughout the session, you’re encouraged to ask questions and share any concerns, with full confidentiality guaranteed.
Discussing next steps — towards the end of the session, the therapist will suggest a plan moving forward. If you choose to continue, you’ll be invited to book further sessions.
Subsequent sessions
Establishing the therapeutic contract — during the second or a subsequent session, you and your therapist will discuss and agree on a therapeutic contract that outlines the framework of your collaboration:
-
Therapy goals tailored to your needs
-
Frequency of sessions
-
Confidentiality rules
-
Arrangements for cancelling sessions
Regular sessions — each following meeting generally follows a structure that includes:
-
A summary of the period since the last session
-
An assessment of your current well-being
-
Working on agreed topics
-
Setting tasks for self-work between sessions
-
A summary of the session
Monitoring progress — the regularity of sessions allows the therapist to continuously observe your process, adjust methods accordingly, and provide feedback on your progress.
Despite its virtual format, online therapy enables the building of a deep and meaningful therapeutic relationship, which is one of the most important factors in effective psychotherapy. The safe space created by the therapist, combined with the comfort of being in your own environment, encourages openness and effective work on personal challenges.
