Four good reasons to use ONLINE COUNSELLING

1. Effectiveness

Unlike what people might think, the medium doesn’t compromise the quality of connection and understanding.  When we meet remotely for the purpose of counselling and support, it is just like talking to a counsellor in person! 

Research studies by Telebehavioral Health Institute and others reported that online video counseling is as effective as face-to-face counseling and is an acceptable alternative to traditional methods.

2. Comfort

When you seek psychological and emotional support, your comfort is paramount. Being able to sit in front of the camera of your smartphone, laptop or tablet, is easy and comfortable. Not only does it reduce the hassle of getting ready and commuting to your appointments; but it also allows you to choose the space from which you wish to communicate. 

3. Privacy

Many people in rural areas are concerned by issues of privacy and confidentiality. In smaller communities, it is more likely that the local counsellor and other people in the clinic are known to clients who seek therapy. With online counselling, this issue is resolved. 

For some people, seeking psychological help is associated with stigma and may provoke shame. In this case, remote counselling may offer an ideal solution.

4. Affordable

Online video counselling is affordable and cheaper for you because it saves you time and money on travelling and for the psychologist it spares the expenses on the overhead costs associated with renting a room.
