From the age of about 13 onwards, I’ve suffered from higher-than-seems-normal levels of anxiety, and while I have actually primarily come to terms with being tense and a bit doomy, I definitely wouldn’t mind being less so. I have actually had counselling before, and it does help.
And pulling back from my own (relatively low-key) issues for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the psychological health issues escalating among under-30s?

“You get to understand not only what it’s like to talk to the individual, but how it feels to be in a room with them. Using Skype is the next best thing: it’s ‘good enough’, but it does not create the closeness, the intimacy, that really gets people to open up and explore things.”.
” I’ve carried out some research into Skype counselling,” says London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, “and it’s not the ‘practical equivalent’ of traditional counselling; it’s simply not quite the very same thing. It’s truly important that people who take part in it understand that it’s a different experience from remaining in the room with somebody, speaking in person.” Mark Miller Betterhelp
