Prepare yourself for a 

TELECOUNSELING SESSION

What is telecounseling?

Social distancing does not mean social isolation.

Telecounseling is a new mode of counseling delivery that has been gaining popularity in many countries. Through telecounseling, clients can access counseling and psychotherapy sessions without having to be physically present in the clinic. With the use of communication technology, client can connect with a counselor/psychologist in the most practical time and place. 

​
