After many years on the fringe, online counselling has rapidly become mainstream practice, propelled by the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet too often practitioners assume they can transition from in-person counselling without need for further training. In this essential book, Sarah Worley-James brings her many years' experience of online counselling and supervision to explore with the reader the practical and technical requirements of the work and also, importantly, the relational issues that working online brings. The book covers video, audio and text-based counselling, using vivid vignettes and case examples to bring to life its contents. All aspects, from transitioning and setting up the room and the equipment needed through to contracts, data storage and, above all, risk, are covered, with practical exercises to help you gain confidence in using these emerging media to their full creative potential.
'Reading Online Counselling made me realise just of how far online therapy has matured as a profession over the past 10 years. Sarah's warm and inviting style of writing nails the subject of online therapy from page one. Any online therapist, whether experienced or not, will find so much in this book that will benefit them and, consequently, their online clients.' Pip Weitz, Training Director, Academy for Online Therapy - 'This is sure to be a core text for counselling courses.' Adrian Rhodes, Chair, ACTO; President, European Confederation of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapies (ECPP) - 'Sarah Worley-James has written the book we have been waiting for. It is up-to-date and has a clear, inclusive, user-friendly style.' Anne Stokes, Patron of ACTO; Director (retired) of Online Training Ltd - 'The book is an excellent resource for those new to online therapy and practitioners who are fine-tuning their existing online knowledge and skills.' Jane Evans MA, BACP (Senior Accred), author of Online Counselling and Guidance Skills (2009).
