There are a few things you can do to prepare your space and technology before your online psychology session.

• Create a therapeutic space – choose a comfortable, quiet and private space where you are unlikely to be disturbed
• Limit distractions – turn off your phone (do keep it nearby as your psychologist may call you from a private number in the case of technical issues connecting to the session) and close down all apps and browsers on your computer that won’t be used for the session (this is also important to prevent other apps from overriding your video and audio components of your device that are needed for your session)
• Check your tech – ensure you use a desktop or laptop with a webcam, microphone, headphones and a reliable internet connection
