Counselling
Counselling is a service that lends itself to
distance as well as face to face. This is because
it has been proven that those who have difficuties
sometimes need the empowerment of being able to
turn the camera off. This has been found with
those who have eating disorders and HIV.
Counselling is offered by a variety of experts
including psychiatrists and specialists who work
with eating disorders and AIDS/HIV.
Counselling can be done either through email,
phone or video conferencing.
Many issues are dealt with, including life skills
and employment issues.
