Managing the Risks of Online Therapy: The Challenges and Pitfalls of Technology: Video Course
The onset of COVID-19 disrupted the practice of psychotherapy in a long-lasting manner; requiring psychotherapists, counsellors and psychologists to fundamentally alter how they conduct their clinical sessions. In many cases, the shift to online therapy sessions was abrupt, rushed and rather overwhelming.

Full course information
While we might have gained varying levels of comfort with online sessions since, many questions still remain. For instance:
- Are we taking the necessary, and often legally mandatory steps, to ensure client safety and confidentiality?
- Do we have a clear strategy for handling potential risks including:
- Client information getting hacked
- Cyber criminals using psychological manipulation to trick users into making security mistakes or giving away sensitive information
- Being subject to Cyber fraud – where client information gets targeted with malicious intent
- Do we know the reporting requirements we need to comply with if a data breach occurs?
At this timely and practical webinar, we have invited Cath Knibbs, who is the leading cyber-security expert and Adult Trauma Psychotherapist to specifically address these issues and explain:
- What are the cyber and online security issues that we face as practitioners when using computers, devices or mobile phones for online client sessions?
- What are the implications of Data Protection Act 2018 and the specific relevance these have for adult and young clients?
- How do we regularly conduct technical assessments for our devices and applications so as to stay compliant with requirements?
- What steps can we take to keep ourselves free of technological anxiety which is concomitant with online client sessions?
