Top Three Advantages of Online Counselling

Online therapy or e-counselling is becoming more and more popular nowadays. Compared to personally seeing the counsellor, more and more people are feeling more comfortable with online counselling. Those who are very shy can use this method because their identity is not known and any details about their life will not be revealed.

So, what are the benefits or advantages of this online therapy?

Online counselling is very convenient.

The client and the counsellor can set the time to fit in with their other schedules. For instance, they can do the session after work, after school, or during their break time. Also, most clients find this method more comfortable because they can express more their feeling without getting shy. So, the counsellor can understand more the feelings of his or her client. Since the client is not ashamed to open up her feelings, the result of the session will be fruitful.

Online therapy is easily accessible.

You can connect with your counsellor anywhere you are on the globe for as long as there is an internet connection. This advantage of online therapy allows customers or clients who are in remote places such as in rural areas, isolated islands, military camps, and prisons, to access the service of the counsellor. Moreover, because this online session uses the internet, more kids and teenagers are willing to take the session since they  feel more comfortable using the web.

Online counselling is more affordable than face to face counselling sessions.

This is true for the counsellor and the client part especially to counsellors who cannot afford to rent an office with a good location. Since they are not paying rent for their office, chance is that, they will ask more affordable fees when compared to counsellors with offices. If they offer quality service and their fee is cheaper than other counsellors, for sure, many individual will seek for their service.
