Live Supervised Practice · Video
Therapy role-play on video
Meet the client face to face. Practise staying present, holding eye contact, and catching the moment your client goes quiet. It is the closest rehearsal to a real online therapy session.
A camera and microphone on your phone or laptop. Captions are available.
What you practise in video role-play
Online therapy, presence and the non-verbal side of the work, and the most realistic rehearsal available.
Presence
Stay with the client when the conversation gets difficult, instead of retreating into your notes or your next question.
Eye contact and posture
See what you do on screen, which may not be what you imagine, and adjust it.
Reading the room
Notice when your client goes quiet or looks away, and respond to that rather than to your plan.
Online sessions
Rehearse the setting much of today’s therapy actually happens in: a video call, with all its small awkwardnesses.
Practise across Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), including CBT-I for insomnia, ERP for OCD and trauma-focused CBT for PTSD, as well as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), each following a published treatment model. There is also Mentalization-Based Treatment, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Schema Therapy and more. See every therapy
Your debrief
Feedback after every session
Video adds your presence to the debrief, alongside your words and your voice.
- Eye contact, posture and visible expressions
- What you do, never guesses about how you feel
- Talk-time, interruptions and pauses
- Your core therapy skills, questions and reflections
What you need
A camera and microphone on your phone or laptop.
How a session works
Choose a case
Each client comes with a history, a presentation and measures. Read the referral as you would on placement, then begin.
Hold the session
The client responds to how you work. Make your mistakes here, where they cost nothing; hints come only if you ask for them.
Review and grow
A clear debrief on the core skills of your model (the CTS-R for CBT). Then take any one skill into a focused drill and work on it until it holds.
Video role-play: questions
Does the client respond to me on video?
Yes. On video, the client can respond to how present you are.
Does the feedback judge my emotions?
No. It describes what you visibly do, your eye contact, posture and expressions, and never guesses at how you feel.
What if I don’t have a camera?
Practise with the same client in chat or on a call. The client carries across modes, with nothing lost.
