How to Prepare for an Online Session

Check Your Internet Connection

• A strong internet connection is important for having a clear and enjoyable online session.

Choose a Private Location

• Set up your computer in a location where you will feel comfortable expressing yourself without being heard or interrupted.

Proper Lighting

• Lighting should be aimed toward the front of you. Avoid sitting with a window behind you.

Use a Microphone Headset

• This improves the overall sound quality and prevents from any distracting “echos” or background noises.

Camera Position

• Make sure your camera is eye-level and that your face is fully visible on the screen.

Move the Video Image for Eye Contact

• Once your session has started, position your counsellor’s live video at your eye level. This will enable you to make eye contact during the session.
