How does online counselling work?

Posted by sakshisharma1 on February 23rd, 2021

Online counselling, also known as e-therapy, mind therapy, web therapy, etc., is an outcome of the advancements in technology and innovations by healthcare platforms that help you go beyond the constraints of offline or the physical seeking of mind therapy. Online therapy allows people to access mental health experts through audio and video calls (via the internet). Online healthcare platforms like Cure.fit act as aggregator spaces that bring together speciality-specific healthcare professionals and people who are seeking speciality healthcare advice and treatments. The entire process of online counselling services, right from searching for the doctor to getting the treatment, is done digitally. This is how online counselling works: Go through the profiles of available mind therapy specialists on the website or app of Cure.fit depending on your area of concern. Book an appointment with the doctor of your choice and make the payment for the online counselling services. Either you can choose the plan yourself or choose the one recommended by the experts. Once you make the payment, you will receive a confirmation email on the registered email with a link for your online counselling session. You can choose your mind therapy session to be over a video or an audio call and even chat sessions. Set your goals and expectations from these sessions. Share your medical history, reports, and records with the specialist before your appointment for her/him to study your case in detail and provide appropriate treatment. To make the best use of the time for your online counselling session, note down your symptoms beforehand along with any questions that you might have. During your personalised online counselling session, the specialist will do a thorough investigation into your case and recommend the best way forward.
