“…Such media include phones, emails, social media (WhatsApp), video calling and SMS. This finding is in tandem with Geldard et al (2015) and Stifel et al (2012), who asserted that electronic gadgets are useful in psychotherapy. The study further revealed that technology use in psychotherapy saves time and money as clients receive therapy from their places of convenience.…”

“…Counsellors and clients might misinterpret the written language. Barak et al (2009), in Australia, and Stifel et al (2012), in the United States, raised the above concern when they asserted that virtual counselling may delay communication between clients and counsellors. Misinterpretation of messages and emotions is likely to arise, especially when dealing with written information (Barak et al, 2009;Richards, 2009).…”

Since the introduction of counselling and internet in counselling in 1990s, technology use has become pervasive, with people conducting a good portion of their lives online or using technological gadgets. It is no wonder then that technology use has begun to be applied to the provision of counselling and psychological interventions. Technology may be defined broadly to include all computer hardware and software, telecommunication products and Webbased information (Epstein & Bequette, 2013). Such a broad definition encompasses most electronic gadgets, applications such as instant messaging platforms, and Web-based social networking platforms such as blogs, social networking sites and virtual worlds (Mullen et al., 2014). The terms e-counselling, virtual counselling, cyber counselling, online counselling and Internet counselling are used interchangeably to describe Internet-based counselling applications (Beidoglu et al., 2015). This article examines the use of technology in counselling, with a particular focus on distance counselling, as well as information sharing and communication including online support forums and professional networks. Distance counselling, or online counselling, is the term that refers to counselling that is delivered using computer-mediated communication (Deslonde & Becerra, 2018;Richards, 2013) as opposed to the traditional face-to-face

“…Anecdotal evidence indicates that email and texting are increasingly accepted informal components of face-to-face practice, while simultaneously generating ethical, legal and professional ambiguity. Potential benefits of email use include facilitating clients' ability to communicate with practitioners (Bradley and Hendricks 2009;Bradley et al 2011), increasing client retention through ongoing contact (Cartwright et al 2005), forecasting issues to create mutually shared goals, and informing practitioners of 'in the moment' feelings (Mattison 2012;Stifel et al 2013). There is a critical need to systematically examine contextual use, benefits and issues related to Informal Intersession ICTs, along with ethical and professional challenges such as confidentiality, security, boundaries and accessibility (Drude and Lichstein 2005;Peterson and Beck 2003).…”

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) (including mobile devices) are characterized by the integration of technology into communication, and have revolutionized how individuals interact. ICTs have led to transformative changes in social work and other disciplines including education and psychology. Despite becoming increasingly popular in traditional face-to-face social work practice, research is lacking on informal ICT use by practitioners with clients, which typically occurs between sessions, but also within, as an unplanned (and often unsanctioned) adjunct to traditional face-to-face practice (Informal Intersession ICTs). As social work practitioners grapple with the rapid expansion of ICTs, there is a need to address the ethical, legal, systemic and professional benefits and challenges that inevitably arise. Such knowledge is necessary to inform practice and policy. Thus, the purpose of this practice update is to elucidate a framework for theoretical understanding of informal use of ICTs in social work, and draw attention to how ICTs have expanded and altered existing practice.

“…The use of technology in guidance and counseling service has been implemented. This is proven by previous researchers stating that the development of technology nowadays has made many school counselors use it as part of their daily job (Stifel et al, 2013). However, school counselors have not made the most of technology because most of them still have not used the technology effectively.…”
