What is online therapy?
Online
counselling or therapy is a way of gaining psychological assistance
from a
professional therapist without visiting their clinic for a face-to-face
(in
person) consultation. Online counselling, which is sometimes known as
e-counselling or e-therapy enables the therapy
‘sessions’ to be conducted either
in an online private chatroom or by exchanging e-mails with a
therapist.
Instead of talking through your problems with a therapist, you write
about them.
It can prove to be a useful way of gaining psychological assistance for
those
who lead busy lives and find it difficult to find the time to attend
regular
face-to-face sessions with their therapist or indeed for those who
either need
time to express themselves or those who find it difficult or
uncomfortable talking
through their problems. As
we do not see
or hear each other, the words we write become our main method of
communication
and this has both advantages and disadvantages. it can be
argued that there is less chance
of you
missing or misunderstanding something because you can always go back
and
re-read it another time or ask a question about it. If you would like
to
discuss how online counselling might help, please feel free to send me
an
e-mail,
for which there will be no charge. In the e-mail, please ask
any
questions that you feel may help you to gain more of an understanding
of the
services that are offered. However, please be aware that I do not
provide an
emergency service and that any such crises should be referred to
appropriate
agencies.
