e – counselling also know as e-therapy, telephone counselling and online counselling involve therapy sessions with your counsellor using modern technology such as Telephone, SMS, MSM, FaceTime and Skype Web Based Counselling to name a few.
Web and telephone counselling is readily available to all those who wish to use it. Online therapy overcomes barriers that may preclude others from seeking treatment. For example, individuals residing in rural or remote areas where there are no counselling services can benefit from the accessibility of online services. Those that are physically disabled or unable to leave their home can also easily access such services with little inconvenience. Individuals with visual and hearing impairments can also benefit from such services. Web counselling has also shown to be effective in encouraging children and teenagers to receive therapy as they seem to be more comfortable with using the internet.
People who are uncertain about counselling or who may be uncomfortable with traditional models of treatment may find online therapy more suitable.
