Therapist Tips for Delivering RT Online
Before You Begin: Tech & Setup
- Use a secure platform like Zoom (paid plan recommended for privacy)
- Webcam slightly above eye level – good lighting from the front
- Background should be calm and distraction-free
- Good headphones and microphone
- Fully charge your device and plug in during sessions
First Sessions Online
Your client is inviting you into their world – it’s a privilege. Treat the first session like a home visit. Build rapport before diving deep. Some clients may have transformative sessions right away. Others may need time to feel safe and connected.
- Allow up to 90 minutes for new clients
- Assess safety, privacy, and dissociation risk early on
- Offer warmth, flexibility and clear guidance
Best Practices for Online Resource Therapy
Be Prepared
- Keep backup contact details (e.g., mobile number)
- Clarify what to do if tech issues occur mid-session
- Have a co-therapist or support person on standby if needed for trauma clients
Client Guidelines (Keep It Simple)
- Find a quiet, private room with stable internet
- Ensure young children are cared for by someone else
- Minimise written instructions – build confidence through clarity
Trauma Work & Grounding Online
Adapt your grounding techniques: model butterfly tapping, use visual cues, or invite clients to stand and reorient for Vaded in Confusion work.
RT Tip: Have clients stand up, turn around, and return to the chair (eyes open) to bring Presenting Adult State back online.
Recording Sessions for Supervision
With client consent, Zoom allows easy recording for supervision. Always be transparent. We recommend this in writing form and signed.
Why Online Resource Therapy Training Works
Many therapists are unsure at first. Can you truly learn a trauma-informed, parts-based therapy online? The answer from our graduates is a resounding yes.
“I was surprised how connected I felt. The breakout groups and live demonstrations made it just like in-person – sometimes better!”
“I could focus more without the travel and interruptions. I felt more confident practising in my own space.”
With live demos, experiential practice in small groups, feedback from expert trainers, and downloadable resources, our online training replicates the energy and learning of an in-person room, with added comfort and accessibility.
How Online RT Training Works
- Join live Zoom sessions – fully interactive and led by expert trainers

- Practise in small groups with guided feedback
- Receive personal mentoring and clinical support
