I am one of the pioneers of Online counseling and Therapy in India, and have been providing therapy to my clients through the internet ever since 2009.

Online therapy sessions are similar to face-to-face therapy sessions, the methods are the same. The only difference is that the interaction between me and my clients is audio visual via Skype, Google Hangout, Zoom, video chat, telephone.

Online therapy provides various conveniences to clients-

• Geographical location of the client and counselor is not an issue.

• It is especially useful for very busy clients who would like to avoid the time spent in travel to meet with the therapist.
• The ‘stigma’ of accessing the help and support of a therapist is nearly nullified.
