Uncomfortable with the Technology?
Counselling is such a personal and sensitive process...
You know, online counselling isn't appropriate for everyone. If you are new to computers or the Internet, or if you are uncomfortable typing, you would probably receive better service from a face-to-face counsellor. The last thing I would want for you would be to have the technology get in the way of properly addressing your needs.
| Online counselling is appropriate for people who can
- comfortably operate their computer
- solve minor problems that they encounter while using their computer or the Internet
- comfortably and regularly use their regular e-mail program (or a web-based email program such as Hotmail or Yahoo mail), including
- attaching files to send
- opening attached files
- cut and paste text easily
You should also know what is meant by
- URL
- hard drive
- floppy disk
- operating system
- download
- upload
- file attachment

If you feel intimidated by any of the above, I would be happy to offer you some tips on finding a good face-to-face counsellor.
I wish you great success in sorting things through. Good-bye for now.
