Online counselling or online socializing can seem daunting to begin with but it’s relatively easy to get use to. There are a number of platforms to use that are safe and confidential. In the coming months it will be important to think about the people that suffer with their mental health. Social distancing can mean social isolation for a number of people who often feel isolated even in crowds of people. You can help by inviting people off of facebook for a skype call or helping people to become social media savvy. Most importantly its vital to keep in-touch with people.

Counselling does not have to stop as this can continue even if you have never used a video calling platform before. I have a number of years of experience with using these platforms and it s very suitable to access your therapy in this way. This is the technological age so its time we made use of this technology and over come the barriers Covid 19 have created for us.
