Does online counselling work?

Emphatically, yes! Online counselling does work.


Counselling is a commitment made by two people to be there at the same time each week. Video calling means all you need to do is log on. The fact that you're also surrounded by your own things, in the comfort of your own home, can help you feel at ease and add to the therapy experience. Travelling can also make an in-person commitment difficult to keep and online sessions are an easy solution for maintaining consistency.
