Abstract

The use of technology is an emerging trend in the field of counselling. Despite advances in this area, there is a dearth of literature on the ethical use of online counselling. This chapter addresses ethical issues and concerns for counsellors conducting online counselling as well as the advantages and disadvantages of such an approach. Since the use of the Internet allows for global use of counselling services, this chapter, among others, examines various ethical standards of counselling that have been established across the world, and to this end, guidelines created by several countries’ professional associations are reviewed. Practical issues, including the training that may be necessary for counsellors to engage in this counselling mode are also addressed.
