Philippa Weitz and Adrian Rhodes
Face to Face Counseling vs. Online Counseling
Today we have our first panel discussion! And what a distinguished panel it is:
Philippa Weitz is a returning guest, she is the author of Psychotherapy 2.0 and
Managing Director of PW Training, which is a training program for online therapists.
Adrian Rhodes is a past president of European Association for Psychotherapy and
has over 40 years experience in the helping field. Adrian is a recent graduate of
Philippa’s training program and has written an article about looking to Online
Therapy as a distinctly different approach to psychotherapy. We have a lively and
friendly discussion about the differences of online counseling and face to face
counseling and also explore how things are progressing in the UK for Online
Therapy in general.

Today we travel to Switzerland to speak with Claudia Pluss, CEO of Perceptiko and
developer of Catch Eye – a plug in technology that adjusts the appearance of our
eyes online to improve eye contact. One of the few problems of doing online
counseling is maintaining good eye contact with our clients. If we are looking at
their image on the screen, we aren’t looking directly into the camera – which can
make it appear that we aren’t making eye contact. It’s a nuanced thing – but as we
all know as therapists, good eye contact is really important to the therapeutic
relationship. This plug in solves the problem – and does so much more! It improves
lighting and can even adjust our background. I think it’s a game changer and I’m so
pleased to have the actual developer of this technology join us to talk about it.
And it’s FREE!

Diann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has taken the leap into Life Coaching.
She has a fascinating story of how she used coaches to grow her Private Practice and
found that the process really resonated with her. As a result, she has gotten
extensive training in Life Coaching and is now embarking on a new phase of her
career – focusing on Women in Mid-Life who also have ADHD. She has extensive
experience with connecting with her clients online and I was captivated by her
story.
