Online CounselingvsFace to Face Therapy

Some people make appointments to see their therapist in person, others choose online counseling. As a counselor and therapist who offers both, my experience is that neither is better or worse than the other, they are just different. Each approach to therapy has its own advantages and benefits.
When There is No 'Body Language', the Focus is on the Therapy

Some people have an idea that because online counselors will not see body language, they are at a disadvantage in their job and may not be as effective as face-to-face counselors. But how significant is 'body language' when considered against what is being said and heard? Online therapeutic conversations actually have the potential to be more focused than a discussion between therapist and client in the same room. The distractions of how someone is sitting, what they are wearing and what else is going on in the room are simply not present during online appointments.

'Body language' can of course give a counselor a better sense of a person, but it can also be influenced by the situation in itself. A person meeting with a therapist in an unfamiliar office might appear physically uncomfortable, more so perhaps than if the consultation was taking place online.

There are obviously some differences between being in the same room as a therapist and meeting with them online. But such limitations need to be balanced against the extra attention that words and language receive when they are conveyed from a position of comfort and in a familiar environment like home.

Online Counseling: Different Choices for Different People

Online counseling is not just one approach. It encompasses a number of options which each has its own advantages.

Webcam: Face to Face Counseling over the Internet
The most recognized approach to talk therapy over the Internet is probably webcam counseling. Webcam counseling means that you and the therapist see each other face to face, just like if you were together in the same room. So rather than talk about online counseling and 'face-to-face' counseling, I like to use the terms 'online counseling' and 'in-person counseling', because webcam counseling IS face to face.

There is no doubt many people enjoy the comfort and convenience of meeting a therapist over webcam. You don't need to think about transport, traffic or what you are wearing. You save time because you don't even need to leave home. All you need is a functioning computer with webcam, access to the internet and a quiet and private place. You can see and talk with your therapist in confidence and relaxed in your own space. If you don't want to be seen, you can choose to talk without the video, which is just like telephone counseling.
Instant Messenger Counseling
Different people like the idea of therapy over the Internet for different reasons. The convenience of not having to leave home can be attractive but the privacy and confidentiality of online conversations are also a drawcard for many.

Instant message software such as Skype and Windows Messenger makes it possible to participate in therapy without being seen or heard. Typing out your problems and having your therapist respond with questions or reflections on what you have written can be a refreshing alternative to having to give voice to difficult experiences. This might be quite important for someone who experiences shyness or struggles to speak to a stranger. An additional feature of the software is that it automatically keeps a transcript of the conversation on your computer that you can choose to delete at any time. The advantage here is you can read over the transcript to refresh your memory of what was said at any time after the session has finished and refer to the dialogue at your next appointment if you have any questions. Research has shown that documentation of what transpired can make therapy sessions much more effective.

Email Counseling
Email counseling has been around for some time now. It offers the convenience of not having to leave home, the privacy of not being seen or heard and the added advantage that you can choose to write in your own time.

Some people feel under time pressure when they are in a room with a therapist. This pressure disappears with email counseling. Exchanging emails with your therapist means you can think through what you want to say, take your time to write it and then, when you receive a reply from the practitioner, you can read it over in your own time. Email counseling takes the rush out of therapy. And everything the therapist says is documented, which is another safeguard for you.

The Benefit of Options in Therapy

I have heard some critics argue that online counseling is a poor substitute for in-person counseling, too risky or even that it should not be legal to practice it.

We have already covered how the different approaches to online therapy have their own advantages that may outweigh 'body language' and other specific disadvantages in some situations. In terms of the risks or other concerns, I think it is important to point out that internet based therapy makes counseling and therapeutic support possible for many people who would not otherwise be prepared to engage with a therapist.

A lot of people who have consulted me through online appointments might not have even tried counseling if the online options were not available. Should these people be denied access to counseling just because they are not prepared to sit down in an unfamiliar space with a stranger they have never met?

Online counseling and therapy are inevitably the direction that much therapeutic practice will take in the future. Internet based talk therapy has the potential to help many people because it is comfortable, private and actually does put the consumer back in control.

Risk, Safety and Effectiveness in Internet Based Counseling

Despite the best attempts to try to regulate counseling practice and therapy, paying for any service will always be, to some extent, a matter of 'let the buyer beware'.

Choose a counselor or therapist who is a member of a reputable professional association and insured to practice. Membership of a professional body means the practitioner has some degree of accountability for their work. You can also check with the association to ensure they are who they say they are.

If you have any particular concerns, write them down and send them to the therapist or ask for a preliminary conversation to discuss these issues. These may include matters like qualifications, privacy and confidentiality, technical problems and payment. I encourage people to shop around for a counselor or therapist they feel comfortable with, just as you would do if you needed to choose a new doctor, or mechanic or decorator.

In terms of who an online counselor should and should not see, there are no hard and fast rules for this. In my own practice, I do not make myself available to people who are at any significant risk or personal danger or if there is extreme urgency to the situation. I am working with people from all around the world so I am not in a position to easily engage local emergency services. If the situation is one of domestic violence or recent sexual assault for example, I direct people to contact a GP or their nearest public hospital. Medical professionals and institutions are usually much better resourced to find the most appropriate help for anyone in such a situation.

Who Are the Most Suitable Clients for Online Counseling?

You don't need to be isolated or disabled or even short of time to choose an online therapist. Meeting with a therapist or counselor over the Internet can be just as effective as consulting a practitioner who is in the same room. Online counseling is suitable for those with problems like anxiety or depression, relationship issues, sexuality concerns, confidence, shyness, addiction, career problems or burnout or difficulties with life direction and purpose. In fact anything you might talk about with a therapist in person can be explored with a competent and professional online therapist. Visit http://hypnotherapist.sydney/

Life Coaching Just What You Need?

What is coaching?

Coaching is good for anyone who is motivated to create a better life.

Coaches help their clients explore and come up with the best choices for them based on where they are and the client's vision for their future.
They are experts at the process of changing behaviour, which is much more valuable than giving instructions. A coach will hold you accountable and challenge you to grow and do more than you think you can do. They may push, pull, and stretch you in ways that may feel uncomfortable. Due to this, be ready to go on a journey, you will feel liberated, motivated and enlightened for the most part, but also be prepared to be challenged and at times frustrated. When you break through frustration this is when break throughs in life are also very powerful.

A bit about my experience as a coach:

Over the years of working in the Life, Career & Business coaching space one-on-one with clients, ageing from 21 through to 60, the transformations achieved never ceases to inspire and amaze me.

The coaching process isn't always a smooth sailing one and the relationship develops interestingly, but usually always with amazing results for the client and their life. This is not me blowing my trumpet here; the achievements, breakthroughs and transformations are all brought about by the clients openness and trust in the process, which for many can be so far out of their normal comfort zone it blows me away even more.

Is coaching right for me?

Don't worry whether you think a problem is too big or too small, everything is relevant to YOU and that is what coaching is about.

If a coach expresses to you that they believe you could be better helped elsewhere, this is the sign of a good coach. Any good coach should have connections with other professionals that they can signpost you to.

Do not take it personally; a coach has to feel confident that they have the skills and expertise to get the results you need & they should not take on anyone who they think could benefit from another source of therapy.

How you'll probably feel about the first meeting:

Really, your initial consultation should be free; this is where the coach can illicit what your needs are and they can offer you ways in which their coaching can be beneficial to you.

The initial consultation may feel like it will be confronting; I remember when I first started seeing a coach before I became one, the first time was filled with nervousness of suddenly not knowing what to say and forgetting all of the reasons why I even wanted to speak to a coach in the first place. Fear of the unknown can take over that it makes not turning up seem like a good option. Getting over that initial hurdle is the start to your transformation believe it or not! And see the next point below.

Remember the pressure isn't just on you:

A few months back I had an enquiry from a client who was 'interviewing' for a coach. I loved this and couldn't wait to meet him and be interviewed by him.

Remember that it's as much up to a coach to make you feel comfortable and show you their expertise in a very short amount of it, as it is for you to have something to say!
Any good coach will overcome any awkwardness you feel, they should be able to elicit quite quickly from you the reason for you seeking them out and they should then be able to clearly explain their process in relation to your situation and be able to let make you feel confident that their approach will help with what you are looking to achieve.

If you aren't feeling comfortable by the end of your first session then maybe it is worth 'interviewing' a few others to see whether there is someone you will have more of a connection with.

What you should establish in your first real paid session:

In your first paid session your coach should work with you to ascertain the goals you'd like to achieve through coaching in a realistic timeframe and for you to properly understand the coaches process of how you will work to achieve them.

Then it should be down to business; leave your expectations behind you, if you think its all going to be tangible and to do lists then you will be surprised!

Moving Forward:

Most people seek coaching when they want to improve or change something external to them in their life; relationships, job / career, business, family, financial situation, different life decisions etc.

This is where my approach gets interesting for my clients as the breakthroughs come about from learning & opening up to new perspectives, timeline based therapy, learning truly about their true core values, and over time becoming powerful to choose emotions and actions rather than feel a victim to external circumstances.

The different approaches and concepts bring about the biggest shifts and breakthroughs in every area of someone's life, whilst actively and positively working towards the initial set goals of the coaching.

Being able to take responsibility and to truly accept where you currently are at, as bad or as hard as life or decisions may seem at the moment, opens up space for relevant and positive opportunities to come along.
Living life through the lens of where you 'should' be right now closes you off to new possibilities.

Once negative self beliefs, and negative emotions such as fear, guilt or shame are removed as a subconscious survival mechanism, the world opens up.

My approach is both personal and tangible. The first few sessions are not only about goal setting and action tasking, but clearing any personal beliefs that don't serve the client, and which are stopping them from moving forward.

The results always astound me as not only do my clients actively start achieving what they set out to, but all of the area's of their life become more positive. They realise that they can have it all & it's all achievable.

That is why I am a life coach and love what I do. Being able to empower people to live a life that they truly want, and seeing the results through the process.

So if you truly want lasting improvement or change in any area of your life, seek out a life coach, make that initial appointment, be open to learning about yourself and new ways of thinking and get your life moving in the direction you truly want it to be!!Visit http://hypnotherapist.sydney/
