Cybercounselling Level 1
Cybercounselling Level 1 is a 12 week course designed for experienced counselling practitioners who want to be accessible to their clients via e-mail. Completion of this course will provide the clinician with the necessary knowledge for delivering ethical impactful online counselling
Participants in the course will improve their online counselling skills and professionalism. The course is highly interactive and personal with a low student to facilitator ratio. Online group and dyadic processes are used so that the entire course is a forum to practise text-based communication skills. Participants from around the world will study and discuss assigned readings, learn about and use secure e-mail technology, practise a diverse range of therapeutic communication skills and tools, engage in role-play, and receive personalized clinical feedback.
The course employs a "practitioner-researcher" model and covers the three areas that are essential to the provision of a professional, ethical, and effective e-mail counselling service:
• text-based communication and counselling skills
• ethical issues
• technological issues and skills
Assignments are given on a weekly basis. Every Friday evening an electronic lecture will be sent out by the course facilitator. Students review the lecture along with the course website section appropriate to that session and complete the assignments by the following Thursday.
Individuals complete their course work in an asynchronous manner. Because of this, participants can fit the course work into their individual schedules to complete each session's assignments within specified deadlines. Participants who have plans to travel while the course is underway will be able to continue their participation, as long as they have Internet access.
The full 12 weeks must be completed in order to be granted Cybercounselling: Level 1 certification. Certificates are issued jointly by the University of Toronto, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work and Worldwide Therapy Online Inc. The work load involves approximately five to seven hours per week. Please carefully consider your ability to schedule these hours into each week.
Therapy Online is the world's first online clinical practice, offering services since 1994. We have trained more than 200 clinicians from around the globe. Please visit us at www.therapyonline.ca.
