PsyShrink provides e therapy and online counseling for patients worldwide to help them deal with their psychological issues. The psychologists are native English speakers and are available over the phone or online for etherapy sessions.
One of the big advantages of the service provided by Psyshrink is its convenience. Patients don’t need to travel to get professional psychological help for their problems. They can receive treatment in the comfort of their home. Patients can consult with qualified psychologists for therapy or counseling sessions through webcam or through a secure chatroom. Apart from this, face to face therapy sessions are also available at the Private Psychology Practice in their physical office.
The options for eTherapy are Individual Therapy, Group Therapy and Marriage Counselling / Couples Therapy. All these services are also offered at the Private Psychology Practice in the physical office. Apart from these services, the PsyShrink Psychology Practice offers additional types of therapy and counseling such as Family Therapy and Child and Adolescent Therapeutic Services.
The online therapy and phone therapy sessions include a Psychological Needs Assessment which is done free of charge. This assessment is conducted by Klara Jaeger, a qualified counseling intern, to ascertain the type of psychological help needed by the patient. During this assessment, Klara helps selecting the appropriate psychological service. The assessment usually takes about 50 minutes.
People looking for online therapists or phone therapists to get help with psychological problems can also opt for a free initial consultation. This lasts for about 15 minutes and patients can clear their doubts about the etherapy services offered by PsyShrink. As e therapy sessions are an unconventional method of treatment, patients may have many questions related to this counseling method. Hence, the initial consultation helps clients feel comfortable and get accustomed to this treatment option.
PsyShrink was founded by Cynthia Kunze who is the Senior Psychologist and owner of Psyshrink. Cynthia is a psychologist registered with the Australian Psychologist Registration Board. Cynthia is also a member of the following institutions: The American Psychological Association, The Australian Psychological Society, The German Society of Psychologists and The German Society of Psychological Psychotherapists. Her team consists of well qualified professional Psychologists, Therapists and Counselors, namely Jonathan Hen-Tov, Psychologist, Michelle Taylor, Counsellor and Klara Jaeger, Counseling Psychology Intern.
Individual therapy is suited for individuals undergoing crisis, abuse or personal emotional problems. It helps the client gain clarity, and develop coping strategies to regain and maintain emotional health and well being. Depression, anxiety, cultural shock, isolation, loneliness and relationship conflicts/concerns are some of the issues addressed in individual therapy sessions conducted by phone therapists and online therapists.
The online counseling sessions provide valuable help in resolving conflicts amongst couples and families. The online psychologist helps easing strain in relationships between couples. The goal of the sessions is to improve communication and to learn and implement methods to relate to each other in much more effective manner. Infidelity, lack of trust, poor communication, fear of commitment and intimacy issues are some of the problems tackled during online counseling sessions.
The online psychologist also coordinates free online support group meetings which are conducted over the phone or through webcam. Some support groups help participants in dealing with self-esteem problems. The meetings provide an online community where people can meet, share experiences and discuss issues they are facing. It provides a supportive and confidential atmosphere to collaborate and come up with coping strategies that are effective in the long run.
