If you are in extreme distress or feeling suicidal then online counselling is not recommended. It is also not suitable if you are suffering with psychosis or a personality disorder, as these issues often require more intensive treatments.
Also, if you are not happy using computer technology, don’t have a safe and confidential space in which to engage in online therapy or you have a poor internet connection, then this type of counselling may not be the best option for you.
If you’re not sure whether online counselling is right for you, please feel free to contact me to discuss your situation.
