Telephone Therapy - Phone Counselling

The telephone has been accepted as an important therapeutic tool in crisis intervention, suicide prevention, and community hot lines.

Telephone psychotherapy can be useful for clients with geographical or other obstacles to regular appointments.

Even in a distant city or town one can always maintain connectedness to an emotionally present mental health professional Telephone therapy is comparable to face-to-face meetings.

Without visual distraction the therapist can develop increased sensitivity to listening. One may begin to say things that they previously had communicated only in body language.

We are living in a changing and highly mobile culture making telephone therapy a viable option to traditional therapy.
