What's the Difference Between Face-to-Face Counselling and Online Counselling?
Communication Medium
Face-to-Face: In-person counselling involves physical meetings between the counsellor and client.
Online: Online counselling is conducted through digital platforms, using video, audio, or text chat.
Accessibility
Face-to-Face: Limited by geographical proximity, requiring clients to travel to the counsellor’s location.
Online: Offers accessibility to individuals regardless of their location, reducing travel constraints.
Comfort & Convenience
Face-to-Face: Provides a traditional and personal setting but may require scheduling and commuting.
Online: Offers greater flexibility, allowing clients to engage from the comfort of their own space and choose convenient appointment times.
Anonymity
Face-to-Face: May be less anonymous, which can be a concern for some clients.
Online: Provides a higher degree of anonymity, making it appealing to those who value privacy.

Cost-Effective
It can be more affordable than traditional counselling, as it eliminates travel expenses.
Continuity of Care
Online counselling allows clients to continue therapy when they relocate, ensuring uninterrupted support.
Access to Specialists
Clients can easily connect with specialized counsellors or therapists who may not be locally available.
COVID-19 Response
Online counselling became crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a safe alternative to in-person therapy.
