Online Therapeutic Service

In the blink of an eye, the world changed dramatically, which led to many countries although miles apart to find solidarity in fighting against a common enemy that proved to be a formidable one, which possessed no sight or sound, a silent enemy wreaking havoc all over the world and placing the world on lockdown that no war or crisis previously has ever achieved. The WHO, in January 2020 declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease, COVID – 19 to be a public health emergency demanding international concern and then on a global pandemic requiring swift and unique precautions to help countries battle to stop the spread of the virus and protect its citizenry. It is most vulnerable such as the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions.

We have seen the increasing need for therapeutic services as a result of COVID-19 for people already living with mental health issues and people who are now becoming affected by COVID-19. More and more people are turning to online services. Online therapy, though not a new concept for TCHD, is new to many. Online therapy is very similar to face-to-face therapy, except it’s done via an online method.
