Due to COVID and the many clients who live remotely across Australia, research has shown that online and telephone counselling can be of equal benefit to clients.

Research has also established that the factor with the greatest impact on the success of therapy or counselling is the relationship that develops between the client and the counsellor, known as the therapeutic relationship. This relationship often begins with an intuitive sense of a “good fit,” felt by both the client and the therapist in the first session.
