Hi everyone, and welcome to this blog post series where we will be talking about online counselling.
It’s been a few decades now since the first online therapy session took place. Things have moved quite a lot since then.
The internet has become a hub for many businesses and services, and counselling has not been left behind.
There are many aspects to take into account for therapists working face to face, and these are also included when doing online counselling.
As you can imagine, there are more variables to take into account when working online, which is what we want to bring to you in this series.
We will be discussing the ethical, practical and other issues and advantages of online counselling.
In the fast-paced world we live in…Why not take care of our mental health using the great technology at our disposal?
Of course, there are pros and cons to consider, but the end result is achieved: supply a live service from the comfort of your home.
The options for support are broadened this way: you can start only by telephone if you feel more comfortable than showing up with video, as in a face to face therapy…
…later on, once you gained some trust with your therapist, you can unveil yourself and do a video therapy instead…
Regardless, of what option you go for, it must be chosen wisely and with some previous research about who is to going to be your trusted therapist…
In the other posts in the series, I will discuss other things to consider, to ease your mind about accessing therapy online.
