I think it's a great idea. i'm a mum for the first time and have a 4 week old. Although not suffering from post-natal depression myself, it's common and I guess with a newborn, it would be difficult to get to counselling sessions. Online counselling would be a huge help.

pointless

I think people would use it more as they feel more confident and comfortable not face to face.

online counselling?
that sounds like an awesome idea.
there are people who find it too difficult to express their problems in person, so being able to have an online counselling session would be much easier for them.
i guess alot of emotions would be covered and there maybe a few misunderstandings as its via 'online', but still, i think this ideas great - im sure a LOT of ppl would like it, especially those who are too afraid to face these things in person!

i think it'd be really good especially for those who are imbarassed of their probs!

It probably doesnt work just like face to face counselling.

I think it has potential. I have an online friend who is a Samaritan and even though we've never met,she helped me enormously when my husband died.................

it really depends on the person.if someone needs counselling and dont want to do it face to face they will probably consider online councelling but face to face councelling could be more effective.

no i dont think so i would prefer face to face

well talking to someone via online would sure make things easier, but theres no emotion created online, also it is alot easy to lie online because of the lack of emotion detected, so therefore. people needing help may take this advantage to get out of sessions quicker. my thought should be to stay out of online counsilling it would only cause trouble and for your carreer it wouldnt be the smartest choice, you wouldnt know if you were actually helping the client or not.

It might work for some people but not for me, I'd like to know exactly who I am telling my problems/secrets to.

people would love it but they will not want to pay for it!!!! for some reason, people think everything is free online

nice work if you can get it !

i think it would be great. I went through a bad stage a while ago, and really wanted someone to talk to..a proffesional, and tried looking uo online councellers. i found some but they were really expensive. and in america :(
im ok now though :)
