Online counselling is a type of therapy where a client and therapist work together through the medium of
online video call rather than in face to face sessions. It differs from traditional counselling in that the therapist
and client are never in the same room during their work together. Nevertheless, it is similar to traditional
counselling in that it takes place within a safe and boundaried setting, and it is bound by the same standards
of confidentiality as face to face counselling.

Research has shown that online therapy can be as effective as face to face counselling.

• Flexibility- Online therapy allows a therapeutic relationship to continue even when a client moves away,internationally or during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Accessibility- For those who cannot attend face to face therapy, this is an excellent option. This could
  be people who live in a very rural location or those whose physical movement is restricted by disability.
• Comfort- Being online can hold a certain familiarity and comfort for many people. Our lives are
  increasingly lived online and having a therapist work within this space can allow for the difficulties, nuances and challenges of life online to be addressed in real time in a congruent manner. Being
  comfortable within your therapeutic space is very important and online therapy can help with this. Knowing that they can exit the conversation at the click of a mouse also adds a level of control to the
  client which can encourage you to open up quicker and to talk about things you may not have been able
  to verbalise before.
• Convenience- Online therapy allows people who have very little time to spare to attend therapy
  regularly from their home or work. Once you have a quiet, secluded and safe place in which to attend a
  session, you can work very effectively online.
