What is e-Therapy?
e-Therapy, and telephone counselling (via Skype) have benefits that face-to-face therapy do not have. Firstly, it breaks down physical mobility and geographical barriers, providing flexible appointment times.

Also, people on the autistic spectrum who sometimes have difficulty relating find this method of communication more comfortable and it is a useful tool for the hearing impaired.
