Does online counselling work?

There are very few evaluations of online counselling as a clinical method so far. The biggest concerns with online counselling are the lack of controls and standards, how it is implemented and the ethical issues. Our current stance on online counselling is that it offers another way to reach people who have difficulty obtaining face-to-face counselling, or prefer anonymity. There are advantages and disadvantages and these need to be weighed up by you. If you have concerns, or you’re not sure if this is the right medium for you, contact us.
