E-counselling offers confidential, proven therapy

E-counselling offers confidential, proven therapy whenever and wherever you need it

It's good news for anyone suffering from depression, stress, anxiety or relationship challenges. E-therapy has got the thumbs up from the government and offers effective therapy over the internet as and when you want it, without having to travel to see a counsellor.

"We see John Kirwan's free, online self help programme as a potential first step for people feeling low or depressed. It's superb to see the government backing this initiative so strongly," says Chris Hight, founder of AskChris NZ's leading privately owned, dedicated internet counselling service.

For anyone seeking confidential ongoing support and help from highly qualified clinicians, e-counselling is a highly effective, secure and cost efficient solution. "E-counselling is widely accepted in UK and USA - quite simply it works. With five years of online counselling experience under our belts, AskChris is well versed in how counselling over the internet is effective for people of all age groups and backgrounds. Further, it's a smart choice from a cost perspective when compared to face-to-face counselling. This is because we pass on overhead savings to our clients."
