Online Counselling : An essential guide

After many years on the fringe, online counselling has rapidly become mainstream practice, propelled by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Yet too often practitioners assume they can transition from in-person counselling without need for further training.

In this essential book, Sarah Worley-James brings her many years' experience of online counselling and supervision to explore with the reader the practical and technical requirements of the work and also, importantly, the relational issues that working online brings.

The book covers video, audio and text-based counselling, using vivid vignettes and case examples to bring to life its contents.

All aspects, from transitioning and setting up the room and the equipment needed through to contracts, data storage and, above all, risk, are covered, with practical exercises to help you gain confidence in using these emerging media to their full creative potential.
