Could you provide insights, based on your vast experiences working with children, if online counselling is an effective mode of psychotherapy? What are the pros and cons versus in-person counselling, specifically for the age group less than 10 years old. Thank you.

Hello Chin Sien, thank you for your comment. That's a very valid question especially considering today's situation. Many professionals have opt for teleconferencing as a mode for counselling services. Though this may be a good mode for social distancing measures and being more accessible; some clients may require a more immediate response during crisis situations. For example, if a client is experiencing suicidal thoughts, it may be challenging for therapists to provide effective, direct assistance. Additionally, as e-therapy is in a digital setting; body language, vocal signals and facial expressions may be hard to read due to the therapist not being able to have direct contact with the client. As childrens’ body languages speak a thousand words, not having this access may be challenging for the therapist to effectively understand the child. This is a very interesting question/ topic that we'll discuss at better length in our future posts. Thank you for your question! Comments are closed.
