Telephone and Internet-based Counselling
Since the emergence of technology-assisted media such as the computer, Internet and telephone, there has been a considerable shift in the way psychologists provide services to their clients. The terms commonly used are telepsychology or telehealth, however other terms are used such as e-health, e-counselling, online counselling, web-counselling, telephone counselling or helplines. All these terms reflect the nature of remote psychological services.
In recent times there has been an enormous growth in the call centre industry and, as a result, services provided by Psychologists, Psychiatrists and Social Workers are now offered in this environment. The evolving nature of technology means that these services are becoming more flexible and accessible: technology facilitates the client’s ability to choose when and how services are used.
In Australia, approximately 500 telephone and Internet based ‘services’ offer a combination of information, support and counselling. Furthermore, they provide the public with a very effective method of accessing services and are playing a major role in the provision of health and community welfare across this vast country.
TISCA, the Telephone Information Support and Counselling Association (www.helplines.org.au) has estimated that this type of service will increase by approximately 20 to 30 per cent per year.
Telepsychology specialities are now being recognised and have emerged in Australia in several areas:
- Private practitioners are offering coaching services to executive clients.
- Professional people are consulting psychologists about relationships, stress and family issues via the telephone and/or modem.
- Psychologists are providing supervision for students via telephone and email, as an effective method of keeping track of progress.
- Health insurance companies are developing telepsychology practices as a way of effectively case-managing their clients. Members call a ‘telepsychologist’ prior to making an appointment with a face-to-face psychologist. The service is free to members (callers) and the telepsychologist consults with the referred service provider for managing the best treatment.
- Pharmaceutical companies are providing counselling and case management services for patients using new products. The pharmaceutical companies set up a support hotline for families and patients on specific medications, to provide information and counselling. This allows patients to discuss concerns about their treatment and to be more informed about a product, which will result in a greater chance of them adhering to the prescribed medication and completing their treatment.
- It appears that Telepsychology is a new direction for psychologists to provide mental health services. The scope and the effectiveness of this type of service are rapidly being discovered.
