During the Covid Pandemic it might be the safest and most comfortable option for you, allowing you to get the help you need, whilst remaining in a place where you feel secure.
It could be more practically and financially feasible for you – you don’t have to travel long distances to see atherapist and it can fit around you and your time – this may especially suit people living in remote areas.
You can access it from the comfort of your home.
It may feel less scary to ‘meet’ someone online rather than face to face and it can sometimes feel easier totalk about difficult issues this way due to the sense of anonymity it can provide.
Online counselling can work well as a stepping stone for someone trying to transition to face to face counselling – such as those with social anxiety.
