Advantages of online counseling
Online counseling has many benefits for people who need psychologiacal support and do not wish to receive counseling in the traditional way.
Choice of consultant and place
The customer can choοse his consultant with criteria other than geographical access..Instead of starting off with the question which consultant is available in may area the customer thinks first which type of service he wishes. From the consultant's perspective all people can be treated in the same way whether they live in a remote island or the centre of a big city or in a compeletely different country.
Conditions that suit the customer
The customer does not need to travel. He or she does not need the ability of hearing. In general, they do not need to posses acute senses as would be required in a traditional session at a specialist's office. The customer can be comfortable at his own environment, with a cup of tea, listening to music or anything else that would contribute to a better atmosphere for anyone.
Customer specified services
The flexibility of consulting without time restrictions such as through e-mail can greatly facilitate the customer that cannot keep regular appoitments due to work - or beacuse he or she simply does not feel like it.
Receiving services from anywhere in the world
The customer that travels often or studies away from home or is moving to another country temporarily can continue his consulting without interruption.
Travelling to and from the specialist's office becomes redudant saving the relevant time which is important especially when the customer is busy and lives far from the specialist's office.
Μείωση του κόστους των υπηρεσιών
Part of consultants and specialists fees cover general administrative costs such as secretarial support. Using online consulting the customer does not pay the consultant's travel expenses nor for secreatarial support.
Online comfort
Some people find it easier to talk about personal issues without the presence of others and open up faster through online consulting,
Privacy
Online consulting, if of course the customer wishes to, offers an absolutely private environment. Online consulting offers an unusual level of confidentiality to anyone since it can be offered at the customer's own privacy. Online consulting does not require an intermediate, meaning the customer does not have to talk to a secretary,nor leaving messages to answering machines in order to reach his consultant. The client that wishes to preserve his anonimity can use our services by contacting us with an alias.
