How effective and secured is Online Counselling?
Online counselling utilises the power and embraces the convenience of the internet for communication between the client and the counsellor and allows for ongoing communication to take place in different locations and time zones.
Studies have reported online counselling to be effective, convenient, and well-accepted.
Zen Counselling uses a secured and encrypted communication and practice management platform that was designed specifically for counsellors, therapists, social workers, and psychologists
