Session Type

We conduct our sessions in one of the following types. Please note that therapists may provide session in different ways that suit them.

Telehealth :  Video conferencing  and Telephone therapy

Telehealth allows you to consult a healthcare provider by phone or a video call. Telehealth was expanded in March 2020 to ensure the safety of patients and healthcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these services have now been retained permanently.

About telehealth

Telehealth involves you consulting your healthcare provider remotely when they have determined a physical examination isn’t needed, and you can’t see them in person.

Telehealth services can include:

• diagnosis
• treatment
• prevention

A range of healthcare providers can now provide telehealth services to cleints through Mithrha. They may include:

• general practitioners (GPs)
• psychiatrists
• allied health providers
• mental health professionals

Face-to-face / In Person

This is traditional approach. A client meets therapist in person in their clinic or in a safe and secure place to receive therapy. Mithrah therapy platform helps you save time in booking a therapeutic session with one of our qualified therapists who have access to clinical space. So, you meet them and start recieving therapy without much delay.

Chat and emails

Some clients may prefer to receive therapy via chat and emails. This can also be arranged if cleints prefer this way. This is subject to the availability and preference of the therapist as some therapist do not prefer chatting and writing emails to the clients.

 

Group therapy – online and in-person

Group therapy is given to a group of clients with similar goals and challenges. It can be conducted online or in person where people meet in a specifc location.

Group therapy involves one or more qualified therapists who lead a group of roughly five to 15 patients. Typically, groups meet from one hour to 4 hours at regular interwal such as once in every week or fortnightly or month. Some people attend individual therapy in addition to groups, while others participate in groups only.

Group are formed to target a specific problem, such as depression, obesity, panic disorder, social anxiety, anger management,  chronic pain, loss and grief or substance abuse. Other groups focus more generally on improving social skills, helping people deal with a range of issues such as anger, shyness, loneliness and low self-esteem. Groups often help those who have experienced loss, whether it be a spouse, a child or someone who died by suicide.

The advantages of group therapy is that it can:

• allow you to learn from others who have similar challenges and issues
• give you a voice to discuss things without a fear of being judged and you may feel less alone
• help you practice before applying skills to your ‘real life’ with the support of therapist and other gorup memebrs
• offer a platform to learn from  different perspectives to life and increase insights
• facilitate social connection and can help you deal with interpersonal skills
• respect boundaries and privacies of other participants yet work effectively by applying the experience of therapy in real life In real life also, we need to work with various family members, community memebrs and social members. So this can help us deal with challenges in interperosnal set up.
• cost effective and may cost less than individual therapy
• help you grow and provide a commitment and opportunity to target an identified area of your life
