And drawing back from my own (fairly low-key) issues for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the mental health problems intensifying among under-30s? With cuts to mental health services really beginning to bite, digitised treatment could be just the ticket for young adults who already filter nearly every aspect of their lives– friends, work, sex, entertainment– through a screen.
Not everybody is entirely convinced that moving psychological health care online is the way forward. “For me, what works in therapy is when you satisfy someone face-to-face, in the very same space,” states London-based psychotherapist Sandra Tapie. “You get to know not just what it’s like to talk to the person, however how it feels to be in a room with them. Using Skype is the next best thing: it’s ‘sufficient’, but it doesn’t develop the closeness, the intimacy, that actually gets people to open and check out things.”.
” I’ve performed some research into Skype counselling,” says London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, “and it’s not the ‘practical equivalent’ of traditional counselling; it’s just not quite the very same thing. It’s actually essential that people who engage in it understand that it’s a different experience from remaining in the room with someone, speaking in person.” 2019 Betterhelp Review
