What is online counselling?
Online counselling is a therapy session which is conducted through an internet-based platform.
In Australia, it’s also known as e-therapy, telehealth, e-counselling or cyber-counselling.
Online counselling involves an interaction between a professional psychologist or counsellor and the client using a digital or mobile communication device such as a laptop, smartphone, iPad or tablet.
These devices normally use a 3rd party app such as Skype, FaceTime or Zoom which are known as platforms. However, some psychology practices have telehealth software inbuilt with their practice management software and are not reliant on 3rd party apps to provide their service.
As over 88% of people in Australia have access to the internet and an incredible 83% of Australians own a smartphone, online treatment has become an increasingly popular alternative to face-to-face therapy.
