And drawing back from my own (fairly low-key) problems for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the mental health concerns intensifying among under-30s? With cuts to mental health services really beginning to bite, digitised therapy could be just the ticket for young adults who already filter nearly every element of their lives– friends, work, sex, entertainment– through a screen.
“You get to understand not just what it’s like to talk to the individual, however how it feels to be in a room with them. Using Skype is the next finest thing: it’s ‘great enough’, but it doesn’t produce the closeness, the intimacy, that really gets people to open up and explore things.”.
” I’ve carried out some research into Skype counselling,” states London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, “and it’s not the ‘functional equivalent’ of standard counselling; it’s simply not quite the same thing. It’s actually important that people who participate in it know that it’s a different experience from being in the space with somebody, speaking in person.” Amir Eitan Talkspace
