The effectiveness of online therapy.
The UK National Health Service has officially recognised the effectiveness of online therapy.
Cognitive Therapy is now being offered via private chatroom as part of the NHS services, in an attempt to provide for people who find it difficult to come to a clinic for conventional counselling.
An online chatroom can be used as a private space where a person can get support and therapeutic help from a professional. This is especially useful for people with alcohol or addiction problems, who may be too embarrassed to see a therapist or counsellor face to face. You don’t have to take time to get to someone’s clinic, they can come to you via your computer.
In all other respects, the nature of online therapy or counselling is the same - the same techniques are used, the same issues dealt with.
