There are many reasons why people choose online counselling.
- Perhaps you are very busy, work long hours, travel away frequently and are unable to commit to regular face-to-face appointments.
- You may be housebound for some reason, maybe due to disability or in a situation where you have to care for elderly relatives or young children and are unable to go out for therapy.
- You may be hearing impaired and unable to find a counsellor who uses sign language.
- Maybe you would prefer not to see a counsellor face-to-face
Online counselling can be appropriate in all of these cases as well as other circumstances. So, if you are comfortable in communicating by email or Internet relay chat, then you may find this method of communicating very effective.
