Psychotherapy and Counselling Centre, Mumbai, India.

Online counselling is not the same as a face to face therapy or counselling, but it is proved to be quiet effective for many people.

In Online Counselling you can talk about your problems,issues,thoughts etc through emails, chats or phone. Skype is also a good medium for online counselling. Just like face to face counselling, online counselling is also an exchange of dialogue between the therapist and you, to resolve your issues, problems and to encourage personal growth. You will recieve the therapists understanding, support, questions, information, suggestions, feedbacks and also strategies to improve your life and help you with your problems. 

Email Therapy- This is a therapeutic email conversation.Some people take just a couple of email exchanges to resolve their issues while others establish a therapeutic relationship with the therapist with regular exchange of emails. One can start with telling the therapist the areas that one needs to work on and take it from there.

For residents living in India Rs.50/- per email.

Residents living outside India US $ 2.00

Monthly email Therapy- The therapist will maintain email support through out the month and offer suggestions, feedback, understanding. The therapist will try and respond to your email as early as possible but sometimes because of the need to attend to other clients this might get delayed. Your patience is appreciated. This will be a one time monthly payment.

For residents living in India Rs.1000 ( for one month).

Residents living outside India US $40 (for one month).

Not all issues are resolved through online counselling but if you feel you cannot, or do not want to talk about your issues in a face to face therapeutic session then online consultation is a good place to begin.

Advantages of Online Counselling

You feel comfortable talking from the confines of your home. You are not afraid to open up sooner with the therapist since you do not have to face him/her and do not feel judged. You can easily communicate your thoughts and feelings to the therapist through emails, and writing brings you closer to yourself. You get better insight about your own thoughts and feelings. You can go back and read your emails and chat transcripts again and this gives you greater clarity.  

Disadvantages of Online Counselling

Exchanging emails can cause some confusion and will lead to asking more questions and details. It doesnt give the therapist the overall idea about the client like a face to face session does. Online chats do not provide the same amout of confidentiality that a face to face session ensures.

Payment Options for online counselling

Payment can be made in the form of cheque/DD or online money transfer.

For those living outside India, payment can be made through money2india, ICICI Bank, http://icicibank.com/pfsuser/icicibank/ibank-nri/nrinewversion/m2i.htm
