In my country onlinetherapy is very new, but a very important part of counselling. In my country, in most of the cities -especially in the eastern Turkey- and in none of the villages, there is a psychologist. Therefore it is impossible for those people to reach a
psychologist. With online therapy, these people can now get psychotherapy,
if they have an access to a computer.
To the education and qualification as online therapist; in my country there
is no opportunity for training as online therapist. Online therapy is very
rare and new in Turkey. And there is no qualification and education
oportunity for online therapy in Turkey.
